ArmInfo. "I strongly doubt about possible depriving Armenia of the
voting right in PACE as I personally do not understand the reasons
or consequences of this step for both Armenia and the organization
itself", - Sergey Markedonov, a famous Russian political expert,
head of the Department of International Relations at the Institute
for Political and Military Analysis said to ArmInfo correspondent.
'The only one, who will win from depriving Armenia of the voting
right in PACE, are the Armenian authorities, as in that case the
Armenian society will line up behind the ruling elite', - he said and
added that in case of repressing Armenia by PACE the country will
hardly turn to 180 degrees towards the democratic Europe and start
implementing all the required reforms.
'I think that by depriving Armenia of the voting right PACE will just
display its own weakness as in that case it will become clear that
the given organization simply does not own other ways of influence.
Russia was also deprived of the voting right earlier. And what did
they reach?' - Markedonov concluded.
