Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, the head of the Armenian delegation
to PACE Tigran Torossyan complained of passivity of the delegates.
He says that the delegation should consist of MPs who really want and
can work at PACE on a permanent basis and push Armenia's interest
there. They should take part not only in PACE plenary sessions but
also in the meetings of PACE committees. Torossyan complaints that
the present delegates are passive not only in Strasbourg but also
in Yerevan: only the leader of the National Unity opposition party
Artashes Geghamyan was present at the last Yerevan meeting of the
Armenian delegation with the PACE monitoring group in Armenia
Torossyan says that the Oct 2-6 PACE session will not discuss
problems directly concerning Armenia but all problems discussed
at PACE do concern Armenia as the country is full member of that
organization. Meanwhile, PACE committees will discuss 3 issues
directly concerning Armenia: the monitoring committee will consider
harmonization of the Armenian legislation with the constitutional
amendments, the committee on refugees will discuss draft report on
missing people and the political committee will discuss a pact on
stability in the South Caucasus.
