A1+ STILL MENACING THE ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES
PACE N 1374 resolution in April set strict demands to Armenia. "A1+" TV
Company problem was particularly stated in the resolution. At the sitting of
PACE Monitoring Commission in Paris where implementation of Armenia's
commitments was discussed, at attempt was made to relax the requirements to
Armenia and to remove "A1+" issue out of discussion.
Q: Armenia's delegation member in PACE Shavarsh Kocharyan having partaken in
the sitting in Paris is answering our questions.
A: In fact, an attempt was made to connect solution to "A1+" problem with
change of the members for TV and Radio National Committee. And that could
mean foiling of "A1+" issue. It is senseless to wait until the staff is
changed. It was a success that those 2 issues weren't combined - "A1+" and
change of Committee members.
Q: Actually, does "A1+" problem remain actual and is it stated in a special
plank of the report?
A: Naturally, it is. The document again mentions "A1+" problem. It is not a
final resolution. The final one will be in January. Thankfully the attempt
to take "A1+" issue out of agenda failed.
Q: How is the point regarding "A1+" phrased in the official paper?
A: I will give the wording to you later. There were 2 suggestions concerning
the issue, mine and the one by a Ukrainian MP. In fact, we joined our
suggestions and reached the point that Commission voted for our joint
proposal.
Q: What will be if "A1+" problem is not settled by January resolution?
A: Unfortunately, PACE has no key factors. Abeyance of the delegation
commissions is the only one. There is no other instrument, except the
uninterrupted mentioning of the problem. In general, Strasburg Court is more
essential. If there is a proper decision of Strasburg Court, it means the
decision must be fulfilled.
Q: In one of the interviews Tigran Torosyan said that Jaskernia had thanked
the Armenian Authorities for cooperation. Opposition wasn't mentioned. Didn'
t you cooperate with Mr. Jaskernia?
A: No, Jaskernia stated that Opposition had allowed him information, too.
Opposition has given much more information than Authorities.
