An urgent debate on Armenia at the plenary session of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is warranted, according to
the head of PACE's Monitoring Committee.
Progress made so far by the Armenian authorities in meeting the
Assembly's demands following the February 2008 post-election violence
has been judged insufficient by the committee's co-rapporteurs Georges
Colombier (France, EPP/CD) and John Prescott (United Kingdom, SOC),
its chair Serhiy Holovaty said in a letter today to the Assembly's
President.
The two parliamentarians made a two-day visit to the country (16-17
June) to assess progress, in line with an earlier decision taken by
the committee in Kyiv.
