"We have often participated in OSCE Parliamentary Assembly activities
and Armenian delegates always voiced national issues," Rule of Law
party member, RA NA delegation member in OSCE PA Khachik Harutyunyan
stated at Feb. 5 briefing. Earlier, Heritage faction and OSCE PA member
Larisa Alaverdyan barred from participating in PA activities said
she intended to put forward new initiatives and prevent Azerbaijani
delegation steps to constantly refer to the implementation of 4 UN
resolutions. "We should disclose the content of these resolutions;
they enable us to play white as under the document Azerbaijan also
has obligations and issues to tackle," she noted.

Asked whether Armenian delegates will be able to raise same issues at
the meeting without Alaverdyan’s participation, Harutyunyan replied:
"There is indeed a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and we
are winning. If we succeed in presenting national interests, it is
irrelevant who does it — authorities or opposition."

Khachik Harutyunyan (RLP), Artak Davtyan (RPP) and Aram Safaryan
(PAP) represent Armenian delegation in OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.
