Turkey will have a stronger influence at the CE
The Armenian Delegation may face difficulties during the fall sitting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, said today member of the Armenian Delegation to the PACE, deputy of the NA "Heritage" faction Zaruhi Postanjyan.
"Turkey will have more influence. For the time being, Macedonia is the presiding country at the CE Ministerial Committee, but this time Turkey will be chair of the committee with its Foreign Minister. But I can definitely say that if the Armenian delegation has a united stance on such issues, I think that we will be able to overcome the difficulties," said Postanjyan.
According to her, the Turkish President of the PACE Mevlut Cavusoglu will try to realize the creation of the subcommittee on the Karabakh conflict which he was not able to do during the summer sitting.
According to Zaruhi Postanjyan, Armenia has a lot to do to correctly present the Karabakh conflict due to Azerbaijan's influential advocacy.
Postanjyan said the following in regard to the view according to which the new co-rapporteur on Armenia Goran Lindblad strikes the eye with his pro-Armenian activities: "I can't say what kind of a person he is until I don't see him on the job. For Prescott and Colombier, we could say that they didn't sign under any anti-Armenian documents, but I can't say that I am content with their work."
During today's press conference, speaker of "Heritage" faction Hovsep Khurshudyan expressed the view that Armenian is not far-sighted and is leading wretched policy.
While Azerbaijan is developing its military industry, Armenian authorities are providing credit for construction of elite buildings. "Azerbaijan is already exporting the arms that iti has produced, while Armenia is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on importing arms a part of which could have been produced in the country," said Hovsep Khurshudyan in closing.
