Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 17 /TrendNews, I.Alizade/ The Vice-President
of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) urges
the organization to take serious measures against Armenia, which does
not fulfill its Resolutions.
"Armenia does not fulfill the PACE Resolutions," Samad Seyidov, the
Vice-President of the PACE and the head of the Azerbaijani Delegation
to the organization, told TrendNews on Dec. 17.
The presidential elections were held in Armenia on Feb.19. The Central
Election Commission (CEC) announced the victory of Serzh Sarkisyan,
the Premier nominated as a candidate from the authorities, with 52.25%
of votes. Disagreeing with these results, supporters of ex-president
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the main candidate from the opposition, began
holding continuous actions. Peaceable demonstrations were broken
up violently in the early hours of March 2. About eight people were
killed and 131 were injured.
The PACE adopted the Resolutions 1609 and 1620 on Armenia. The
Resolutions comprises discharge of political prisoners, unbiased
investigation of the developments and punishment of law enforcement
bodies using violence against peace protesters without any reason.
The PACE Monitoring Committee will discuss a situation in Armenia at
a meeting in Paris on Dec. 17.
Seyidov believes that discussions on Armenia will be more serious at
the PACE:
" Armenia openly refuses to fulfill the PACE Resolutions. At the
same time, the current state and developments in Armenia prevents
to fulfill the PACE Resolutions. The PACE will specially discuss
political prisoner problem in Armenia."
Measures to be taken on Armenia will be specified after discussions
at the Jan. session of the Monitoring Committee and the PACE, he said.
"There is a special attitude toward Armenia because of some forces at
the PACE and this country is preserved. However, at present facts on
this country are too serious that it is impossible to hide them. It is
the third PACE session that an issue on Armenia is being discussed,"
the Vice-President said.
