WILL RA COALITION OBEY PACE RESOLUTION?
“Along with the Coalition Agreement the resolution passed at the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) outlines the major steps which will enable Armenia to come out of the current awkward situation. It will serve a serious precedent to avoid such situations in future,” HHK MP and member of the Armenian delegation to the PACE, Hermine Naghdalian, told A1+.
Hermine Naghdalian says the activity of the Azeri side at the PACE session was unprecedented though expected. Every time Armenia weakens its position with regard to some issue, Azerbaijan employs all methods-militarist, diplomatic, and uses every rostrum to degrade Armenia.
The HHK MP thinks Armenia's authorities and opposition should join efforts “to solve the major problems in the country in a fair way and to raise Armenia's reputation overseas.”
Reminder: the resolution lists a number of conditions for a dialogue between the conflicting sides in Armenia. Notably, the immediate opening of an independent inquiry into the events of 1 March (which resulted in 10 people killed and 200 injured), the urgent release of the persons detained on seemingly artificial and politically motivated charges and the revocation of the amendments recently adopted by the National Assembly to the Law on conducting meetings, assemblies, rallies and demonstrations, with immediate effect.
