ArmInfo. PACE Resolution N1609 about functioning of democratic
institutes in Armenia, adopted on April 17, has comprehensively
reflected March 1 national tragedy', "Heritage" oppositional party
leader Raffi Hovannisian told journalists today in the National
press-club.
He said that the problems, reflected in the document, aroused far
before their discussion in Strasbourg, so the Resolution is of "pure
Armenian origin". "By the way, members of the National Assembly's
delegation to PACE from the ruling parties took an active part
in development of the document and voted for it by themselves",
R. Hovannisian said. The oppositionist said that the Resolution
N1609 clearly indicates the ways of overcoming the all-national
crisis. In particular, the European community, within the frames of the
liabilities assumed by Armenia, gave only two months to our country
to fully recover the freedom for holding meetings and rallies, to
remove all the restrictions of the freedom of speech, to set free the
persons persecuted for their political views and active expression of
the civil position. "Only in case of fulfillment of these requirements
one may approach overcoming of the dividing line between the people
and the authorities", R. Hovannisian said.
