In all probability, the delegation of Armenia will not be deprived
of vote at the PACE session that started on June 23.
According to Radio Liberty, by the new draft resolution of PACE
Armenia is given additional time, until the session of January, 2009
for fulfilment of the requirements of Resolution N 1609. "Unless until
the January session the requirements of this, as well as new resolution
are fulfilled, the Monitoring Commission will present a proposal to
PACE to deprive Armenia of vote during that session," the draft read.
In connection with the problem of people arrested in the post-electoral
period the draft resolution calls the Armenian authorities for
finishing the examination of criminal cases as quickly as possible:
"They should be either closed or be sent to courts quickly." The draft
mentioned that the judgements, which are only based on policemen's
testimonies without additional proof or testimonies of independent
witnesses, cannot be admissible." "Cases filed against those accused
by Article 300 (seizure of state power) and 225 (mass disorders), RA
Criminal Code, should be quashed, unless there is grounded evidence
that they have personally committed acts of violence or other serious
crimes," the draft read.
Welcoming the creation of the ad hoc parliamentary commission on study
of the March 1 events and positively estimating involvement of local
and international experts in it, the draft authors meanwhile mentioned
that only commission's format "is not able to ensure independence
and impartialiy," and therefore, to enjoy confidence among society.
