"Yesterday Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe adopted
Resolution 1643 on Armenia with two principle points amended: Armenian
Delegation has not been suspended of voting right and the second,
the term "political prisoners" is removed," said the spokesman of
Republican Party Edward Sharmazanov during a press conference, today.

According to the Republican spokesman, that improvement is conditioned
by the President’s political will to implement reforms, and that this
is everybody’s victory.

"We have not been encouraged, but we have decided to make democratic
reforms," he said.

Regarding the rumors that Armenian Delegation to PACE has not been
suspended from voting right because an agreement is made to make
concessions in NKR issue, Sharmazanov explains that it is a nonsense
and that it is a style of some oppositional figures. "The authorities
would be in a worse condition in NKR negotiations if they were deprived
of their voting right," he said.
