IN CASE OF PARITY APPROACH TO ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN COUNCIL OF EUROPE
MAY APPLY TOUGH SANCTIONS AGAINST BOTH COUNTRIES
YEREVAN, MARCH 23. ARMINFO. In case of parity approach to Armenia and
Azerbaijan the Council of Europe may apply tough sanctions against
both countries, says opposition MP Shavarsh Kocharyan.
He says that Europe seems to be closely watching Armenia to see what
the country will chose - European democracy or Asian totalitarianism.
Today only Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia are failing to fulfill
their CE commitments. But if Russia is a country that the CE is
forced to respect - with Azerbaijan it is very tough and is very
likely to suspend the powers of the Azeri delegation during the PACE
summer session. So in autumn it may get to Armenia. Europe wants
drastic democratic reforms rather than feigned European integration.
This may put Armenia into isolation. Even the ruling coalition admits
that one more electoral fraud may prove fatal for the country.
Kocharyan says that the post-Soviet authoritarian regimes are gradually
turning towards democracy which has been proved by the recent events in
Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova and Kyrgyzstan. The US and Russian presidents
may have discussed this problem in Bratislava and may also discuss
it during the CE Summit in Warsaw in May.
