06.05.2004 16:50
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President Robert Kocharian does not agree with
some formulas in the descriptive part of the PACE resolution on the domestic
situation in the country, the state leader told journalists in Yerevan
today. In his words, such definitions, as e.g. "political oppression" are
especially displeasing. R. Kocharian reported that one of these days
official Yerevan will prepare its response on the descriptive part of the
resolution and the special opinion will be presented to the Council of
Europe before July, as the document requires. In the President's words,
Armenia is a Council of Europe member and "is fully entitled to protect its
official point of view regarding the PACE resolution." "The Council of
Europe is not a place where unilateral decisions can be made," he
emphasized. It should be reminded that the resolution the PACE passed last
week calls on the authorities and opposition of Armenia to refrain from
violence and to sit at the bargaining table.
