ISSUE OF FULFILMENT OF ARMENIA’S COMMITMENTS TO BE DISCUSSED AT PACE
JANUARY SESSION
YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, NOYAN TAPAN. The discussion of the report on
fulfilment of Armenia’s commitments towards Council of Europe and the
respective draft resolution are on the agenda of this year’s first
plenary session of PACE to be held on January 22-26 in Strasbourg. The
resolution was submitted by members of Assembly Monitoring Commission,
Rapporteurs on the issue of Armenia, George Colombier and Mikko Elo.
As NT correspondent was informed by Armen Rustamian, Chairman of RA NA
Standing Committee on Foreign Relations representing ARFD faction at
the Armenian delegation, before the draft resolution’s discussion
scheduled for January 23 PACE plenary sitting it should be discussed
and approved at the Monitoring Commission. According to the
established procedure, the Commission usually discusses proposals of
amendments on the draft and revises the variant of the draft to be
submitted to the Assembly on the basis of proposals considered as
acceptable. But as A.Rustamian forecast, in this case draft’s amending
is improbable, as the current variant is the result of long and
thorough preliminary discussions.
To recap, the head of PACE Armenian delegation, NA Speaker Tigran
Torosian in advance had qualified the above mentioned draft resolution
as an unprecedented one in the respect of its positive accents for
Armenia.
According to the report submitted to Noyan Tapan from RA NA Public
Relations Department, the Armenian delegation to leave for Strasbourg
for participating in PACE plenary session will be headed by RA NA
Speaker Tigran Torosian. Armen Rustamian, Hermine Naghdalian, Stepan
Demirchian, Artashes Geghamian and Grigor Margarian are included in
the delegation.
