"PACE discussions due on April 17 will give answers to many questions,"
Co-rapporteur of the PACE report on "The Functioning of Democratic
Institutions in Armenia," John Prescott told A1+.
John Prescott says the picture is not distinct as "one of the sides
accuses while the other justifies." And yet, he thinks the discussion
of the draft resolution will answer all questions.
The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia confirmed and
publicized the election outcome. I have no right to interfere with
this decision," he says.
John Prescott says a lot of changes should be made with regard to
the Electoral Code, vote count and tabulation procedures.
"The tragic events of March are a serious concern for Armenia,"
says John Prescott. "The authorities should first take steps to
regain public confidence. Prescott highlights a dialogue between the
conflicting sizes - the opposition and authorities. In democratic
countries oppositionists raise questions in parliaments while in
Armenia the opposition had no other option than to take its case to
the streets."
Note, the report underscores that the crisis in the country is also
resulted by malfunctioning of the National Assembly.
