ArmInfo. Our work in the framework of the winter session in PACE was quite successful. This was announced on February 4 at a press conference by the head of the Armenian delegation to PACE, MP from the ruling "My Step" bloc Ruben Rubinyan. The MP noted that during the visit, certain agreements were reached. Rubinyan also touched on the discussions that have unfolded in PACE on the issue of political prisoners in Azerbaijan.
"As you know, during the winter session, a resolution was adopted on political prisoners in Azerbaijan. That is, it was once again noted that there are political prisoners in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani delegates strongly denied this fact, and very reluctantly admitted the adoption of this resolution," – stressed the MP.
Moreover, Rubinyan noted that the head of the Azerbaijani delegation asked one of his British colleagues to speak in support of them, but the Azerbaijanis did not receive any support.
The head of the Armenian delegation noted that during the PACE winter session, issues related to peace in the regions, fake news, political prisoners, as well as holding fair and transparent elections were discussed. "These are issues that are important both for Europe and for Armenia," Rubinyan concluded.
