RA National Security Council Secretary Artur Baghdasaryan withheld
comments on declassified monitoring report on Armenia by John Prescott
and Georges Colombier, Secretary himself said to NEWS.am correspondent
on Dec. 22.

"I just can make a remark that political structures judge not based
on report, but the clear documents. Whenever the official document is
available, we can arrive at appropriate conclusions," the politician
said adding: "Press often spreads untrue information or fails to
publish the whole."

As NEWS.am reported previously, PACE monitoring commission declassified
the report on Armenia by John Prescott and Georges Colombier, who
however did not show up at the December 17 meeting.

Co-rapporteurs expressed doubt on committee’s assessment, namely
conclusions that March 1 events were adequate and lawful, in particular
considering the fact that three demonstrators died of Cheremukha-7
gas used by police. Prescott and Colombier reckon that cause of 10
people’s death is not elicited and the guilty are not detained.
