DAVID HARUTYUNYAN: “PACE ARTICLE TERMS ACCEPRABLE FOR ARMENIA”
Two times PACE discussed Armenian question. The first one was when Prescott made a report on the presidential elections and this report does not differ from the one made just after the elections and the second was the discussion of the article on democratic institutions of Armenia, said the head of the Armenian delegation in PACE David Harutyunyan, in a meeting with the journalists today. He said that the problem was the lack of public trust and that the Prime Minister kept his campaign as Prime Minister. As for the democratic institutions of Armenia article discussion, Harutyunyan said that the evaluation of the co-spokesmen Prescott and Colombier were rough and added that Armenian side offered more than 30 proposals not to smooth the situation but to clarify it. Armenia should carry out serious steps to improve the democratic institutions activities, he said. After D. Harutyunyan mentioned what points of the article should be held till June. First, creation of such mechanisms in the political system that the opposition could have distinct rights and duties towards the country. Second: the election processes: such electoral committees should be created which will be free from any political force, stated he. As for the judicial freedom, Harutyunyan said that the country should take appropriate measures to provide the field with freedom and to improve the trust towards it. The next group of questions concerns arbitrary arrestments and imprisonments. State supervision should be carried out to check the mechanisms of arrestments by the police officers, said Harutyunyan. The article mentions the free expertise of March 1 events. In the end of the speech David Harutyunyan mentioned that all those terms are acceptable for Armenian side and that the list of democratic institutions presented was not the full one.
