As previously reported, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe (PACE) is holding its winter session today. Among other issues,
the presidential election of PACE is on the agenda. The only candidate
is Mevlut CavuÅ~_oglu, a Turkish national from the "European Democrats"
political group.

As a result of a change in the Armenian delegation, Zaruhi Postanjyan
had become a substitute staff member. It was decided that Armenia’s
National Assembly would finance a substitute member’s visit to
Strasbourg only if one of the delegation’s permanent members couldn’t
make it.

Though the Armenian official delegation has already left for Strasbourg
with a full four-member staff, Zaruhi Postanjyan has also joined
the delegation.

Stepan Safaryan, the head of the Heritage Party faction, says it is
PACE that has financed Postanjyan’s Strasbourg visit.
