The Armenian authorities must stop kidding themselves and Europe has
to stop playing games with small countries," said today NA Deputy,
leader of the "Heritage" party Raffi Hovhannisyan.
Hovhannisyan also stated:
"I don't want any privilege. I want Armenia to secure human rights,
civil freedoms and its own standard of democracy. I also demand the
PACE to apply its values equally."
Talking about the Armenian delegation to the PACE, Raffi Hovhannisyan
said that there are many good delegates, but they are biased. If they
stop defending what cannot be defended, things will go more smoothly
for Armenia.
The Armenian delegation currently reflects our small interests and
our reputation in the world. Hovhannisyan also said that although he
has not been participating in the PACE plenary sessions in the past
couple of months, he has been "fighting on the front".
Raffi Hovhannisyan went on to say that this time Armenia's issue
may be discussed with Azerbaijan. Zaruhi Postanjyan will represent
"Heritage" in the PACE April plenary session, but she will not be
able to participate in the monitoring session.
