PACE to discuss Armenia's issue on Oct. 5
The 4th part of the 2011 Ordinary Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe kicked off in Strasbourg on October 3.
"The Assembly expects the Armenian authorities to intensify the investigation into the deaths of the March 1, 2008 victims. Unfortunately, no progress has been reported in the issue," PACE President Mevlüt Cavusoglu said today in his opening speech of the PACE October session in Strasbourg.
At the same time, he hailed the reforms underway in Armenia.
On Wednesday, October 5, Co-rapporteurs of the Committee on the Honouring of Obligations and Commitments by Member States of the Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee) will present the report on "The functioning of democratic institutions in Armenia."
The discussion was due on October 7 but was rescheduled for October 5 as PACE co-rapporteurs for Armenia John Prescott (Great Britain) and Axel Fischer (Germany) will leave Strasbourg before Friday.
