Kosachev: I don’t think Armenia will be debarred from voting in PACE

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE) hopes that Armenia will not be
debarred from voting in the organization.

"I do not think that it will come to sanctions. As far as I know, much
has changed since the draft resolution on debarring Armenia from
voting was introduced," said Konstantin Kosachev, head of the Russian
State Duma international committee.

"Anyway, the Russian delegation will vote against imposition of
sanctions on Armenia," he added

During a meeting on December 17, 2008, the PACE monitoring committee
concluded that Armenia failed to meet the requirements and offered to
debar Armenia from voting during the January session.

This week, PACE rapporteurs John Prescott and Georges Colombier
arrived in Armenia to study the situation.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
