PACE co-rapporteurs negotiating with Armenian authorities?
Zaruhi Postanjyan, member of the Armenian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), does not consider PACE co-rapporteurs on Armenia to be naïve people.
"They are well aware of the political situation in Armenia. They know how to conduct the investigation into the March 2008 tragedy. There are concrete people who gave instructions on the day of bloody events and are guilty of the deadly clashes. These people are identified, but no inquiry has been held in connection to them," Ms Postanjyan told A1+.
She does not agree with the contents of the draft resolution adopted by the PACE Monitoring Committee on September 8.
"PACE co-rapporteurs are cooperating with Armenian authorities. Comments are needless if the Monitoring Committee considers the chapter on March 1 tragedy closed," she said.
"The outcome of the latest general amnesty in Armenia, the renewed impetus to investigate the 10 deaths during the March 2008 events, and the resulting start of a constructive dialogue between the opposition and ruling coalition mean that the chapter on the March 2008 events can finally be considered closed", the Monitoring said on Thursday.
