The following information was released by the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE):

The credentials of the Armenian delegation to the Assembly, which
were challenged on the opening day of the session on the grounds
that the Armenian Parliament had "manipulated its internal rules",
were confirmed yesterday. In its opinion, the Rules Committee said
it had examined the objections, but concluded the Armenian delegation
was appointed in compliance with the Rules – though it added that the
situation of the Armenian opposition should continue to be monitored.
