The "Heritage" Party, the Armenian National Congress and the Ombudsman
have already named the candidates to be included in the Fact-Finding
Group of Experts to probe into the events of March 1-2. The coalition
has not nominated its candidates yet. According to the Chairman of
the National Assembly's Standing Committee on State-Legal Issues David
Harutyunyan, the first important issue is the nomination of candidates.
"I think the nomination of candidates is being delayed because the
requirements are very high. It should be a skillful and capable person
on one hand, and not be a political figure on the other hand.
David Harutyunyan also heads the Armenian delegation to the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Our country is
preparing for PACE winter session. According to him, the January
session has peculiarities. When joining the Council of Europe,
Armenia assumed a number of responsibilities and is still in the
stage of monitoring. This means that PACE periodically refers to tie
accomplishment of Armenia's commitments.
In January PACE will not only refer to Resolutions 1609 and 1620,
but also other commitments assumed by our country, i.e. reformation
of judicial reforms, presentation of the final draft law on "Local
self-government and territorial administration in Yerevan." The
bill has already been adopted by the National Assembly at first
reading. Currently the preparation of the second reading is underway.
David Harutyunyan spoke about the declaration on Nagorno Karabakh
signed in Moscow by the Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and
Russia. David Harutyunyan appreciates the step and does not agree
with the opinion that with this declaration Nagorno Karabakh stays
apart from the negotiation process. "The most important principle
included in the documents is te provision on peace talks, and peace
talks on the destiny of Karabakh are impossible without the active
participation of NKR."
Describing the current stage of the Karabakh conflict settlement, David
Harutyunyan noted: "We are currently in the stage of negotiations,
i.e. both parties should have the opportunity to yeld and gain
territories."
