Confirmed unanimously
The mandates of the Armenian Delegation to the PACE were confirmed unanimously," Head of the Armenian Delegation David Harutyunyan told "A1+" during a telephone conversation. David Harutyunyan participated in the PACE Regulatory Committee session today as a guest.
"The conclusion of the decision was confirmed unanimously. It mentions that the Armenian Delegation is composed according to Article 25 of the CE Charter and Article 6 of the PACE Charter. There were no neutral votes or against. Armenian Delegation also presented an analysis that there were more delegates from other countries where the number of delegates is higher than the number of parties represented in parliament. Despite that, representatives of a number of parliamentary factions were not included in the list of delegations at all. In other words, Armenia is much more ahead of those countries," said David Harutyunyan, adding: "The main concern was that the issue reaches the committee level with such unserious objections and formulated questions."
Member of the Delegation Naira Zohrabyan told "A1+" that the explanations section of the report states that Zaruhi Postanjyan had not presented grounds, that is, any facts or reasons based on the demand of the law that would corroborate her claims regarding the illegality of reshaping the Armenian Delegation. This means that the new Armenian Delegation has been confirmed, we have already begun working and will continue to do so."
Mrs. Zohrabyan noted that Postanjyan can speak at any moment, if anyone from the main staff passes his or her right to speak.
Postanjyan will no longer be able to participate in the monitoring committee sessions during which the report on the events of March 1 will be discussed. David Harutyunyan informed "A1+" that the issue would be discussed in the next two days, but not today.
