/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "There’s no point in expecting PACE or other European
structures to discuss RA and Turkey’s domestic issues this autumn,"
Heritage Parliamentary faction Leader Stepan Safaryan noted at news
conference.

According to Safaryan, this was made clear by CE Parliamentary Assembly
Chairman Lluis Maria De Puig expressing his approval of preliminary
signed RA-Turkish protocols and emphasizing that "enough work was
done over them". In Safaryan’s opinion, this means that European
structures will not discuss RA and Turkey’s democratization issues
so as not to harm RA-Turkish rapprochement process.

Same was confirmed by Zaruhi Postanjyan, Heritage representative at
the Council of Europe, upon her return from CE sitting.

Safaryan believes that European structures joined RA-Turkey
rapprochement process, initiated by Russia and USA.

Lack of RA’s issues discussion by CE structures will negatively
influence reforms and democratization process in the country,
Safaryan concluded.
