Resolution didn’t help seize Freedom Square again
Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress foreign relations committee Vladimir Karapetyan commented on the Resolution adopted by the PACE during his speech to the participants of the round-the-clock rally at Freedom Square.
The Co-Rapporteurs' declaration makes a reference to the provision on turning the page of March 1 over and states that monitoring of the investigation into the ten murders will continue. It also states that the Armenian authorities are presented with the demand to make democracy develop and stabilize in Armenia.
In addition, the Armenian authorities are obliged to take the Venice Commission's assignments into account and correct the flaws in the RA Electoral Code.
The Assembly has expressed concern over the injustice in Armenia's courts and the level of courts' independence. The police must also be under citizens' supervision.
There is also a concern over the police brutality and whims of police officers, as well as a call to put an end to those whims. The Resolution states that there is no pluralism in Armenia and calls on holding new tenders to fill in that gap.
"This morning I was asked what the provision on turning the page of March 1 turning over meant. It wasn't the Resolution that helped seize Freedom Square again and make the authorities release the political prisoners, but the Armenian people," Vladimir Karapetyan said and called on the people of Armenia to join the rally participants and solve the issues facing the country on their own.
