Armenia

On November 21 RA NA Vice President Mr. Samvel Nikoyan met the members
of the Monitoring Committee of Ministers’ Committee (Ago Group) of
the Council of Europe led by the permanent representative of Romania
in CoE, Ambassador Mr. Stelian Stoyan.

At the guests’ request Mr. Nikoyan presented the works done by the
Ad-hoc Inquiry Committee into the Events Occurred on 1-2 March 2008
in Yerevan and Their Reasons, the main direction of the final report
and his stance on the current works.

Mr. Nikoyan noted that as a result of hard work, the Ad-hoc Committee
presented a brief objective and unbiased conclusion. Examining the
events the Committee had based on the exact facts, that was the
reason that there was no grounded criticism neither by power, nor by
opposition. Mr. Nikoyan added that the two parliamentary opposition
factions were positive on the presented report. The NA Vice President
noted that for excluding the repetition of the events the NA Ad-hoc
Committee had presented proposals on the solutions of the problems in
political, judicial-legal, social-economic, protection of human rights
and other spheres, and for this he considered necessary to set up a
Monitoring Group. Mr. Nikoyan said that the issue was under discussion:
to assign to any standing committee, or set up a new ad-hoc committee.

The guests expressed their gratitude to Mr. Nikoyan for the
information, and the complicated and thorough work done. They
expressed hope that Mr. Nikoyan would work in implementing the
proposals mentioned in the report.
