Edward Sharmazanov, a member of Republican Fraction of National
Assembly, said that it was "unfavorable" for Armenia. "I don't think
that Armenia is one of the members of Council of Europe where human
rights are in extremely bad situation. To compare we can see that
in these recent months some positive changes have been made. And the
Monitoring Committee has also notified it," said E. Sharmazanov.
"Our European colleagues should be aware of the fact that putting
sanctions country is not democratized," he said. E. Sharmazanov hopes
that when in January the co-rapporteurs arrive in Armenia, they will
see that "problems have become less in Armenia".
To Panorama.am question whether the arrested of "March 1" would be
set free, as according to the PACE report "persons could be charged
and deprived of their liberty for political motivation in Armenia",
E. Sharmazanov did not give a definite answer. "Problems are not
solved in one day. After March 1 the atmosphere of trust has been
increased and not reduced," he said.
