/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian government and opposition should
work jointly to find a solution to the internal political crisis,
a European Commissioner said.
"We are hopeful that they will be capable to choose the right
way. Whether Armenia will be deprived of the vote in the PACE or not,
depends on the steps official Yerevan takes," Benita Ferrero-Waldner,
Commissioner responsible for External Relations and European
Neighborhood Policy, told a news conference in Yerevan today.
PACE winter session opens in Strasbourg on January 26.
The parliamentarians will discuss Armenia’s meeting the provisions
of PACE resolutions 1609 and 1620 on democratic institutes and
investigation into March 1, 2008 events.
