"PACE Resolution N1620 greeted the decent fulfillment of changes in
the law on "Holding meetings, demonstration, marches and rallies",
in particular, a statement was made that the place to conduct meetings
should not be limited," said David Harutyunyan, the leader of Armenian
Delegation to PACE and the chairman of NA standing committee on
state-legal affairs, in a meeting with the journalists. PACE has also
greeted the establishment of NA ad hoc committee on studying March 1-2
events, which, according to the resolution, is aimed to assure free,
transparent and trustworthy activity.
According to D. Harutyunyan another significant point mentioned in the
resolution is the recommendation to cut down the criminal pursuits by
articles 225 and 300 of Criminal Code, except the cases when violence
is made, as well as when they have instigated, ordered or contributed
to make violence.
D. Harutyunyan said that in September a report will be made by Human
Rights Commissioner concerning two points of the Resolution: people
who are pursuit, arrested and the activities conducted by the NA ad
hoc committee. Regarding the report, which should be made on September
11, the question concerning Armenia can be discussed in PACE in the
October session.
