European parliamentarians gathered in Pskov on Monday for a seminar,
which is devoted to the formation of a new Europe.
Federation Council Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Mikhail Margelov
told Itar-Tass Russian parliamentarians discussed the events in Europe.
"Russia's membership in the Council of Europe is needed because it
is a European country that allows us to avoid isolation, which will
eliminate our democratic achievements and pose a threat to Russia's
path on liberal democracy," Margelov said.
The seminar involves "European democrats" from Britain, France,
Italy, Greece, Israel, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Turkey, Armenia
and Azerbaijan.
