The co-rapporteurs' report contains nothing extraordinary or sensational, Armenian delegates to PACE said on Monday commenting on the recent report of John Prescott (United Kingdom, SOC) and Axel Fischer (Germany, EPP/CD), co-rapporteurs of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on the honouring of obligations and commitments by Armenia
"The Monitoring Committee is presently working on the report which is to be presented during the PACE autumn session," said David Harutyunyan adding that Committee held a discussion on Armenia but he could not give the details.

Speaking about the co-rapporteurs' statement that the lack of a proper inquiry into the causes of the 10 casualties that occurred during the March 2008 events continue to poison the political environment in Armenia and risks having a negative impact on next year's elections, David Harutyunyan said, "I think that everyone knows the contents of the co-rapporteurs' statement."

"No one will deny the need for free and fair elections in Armenia," he concluded.
