    ARMENIAN OPPOSITION MAINLY SATISFIED WITH PACE RESOLUTION

    Noyan Tapan
    June 29, 2009

    YEREVAN, JUNE 29, NOYAN TAPAN. The last PACE Resolution on activity
    of democratic institutions in Armenia has more positive than negative
    provisions. Armenian National Congress (ANC) representative Levon
    Zurabian expressed such an opinion at the June 25 press conference. In
    his words, the words of praise addressed to the Armenian authorities
    in the Resolution was the price to be paid for release of the most
    part of the political prisoners. He attached importance to the
    fact that the Assembly also calls the authorities for releasing
    the political prisoners, to which the amnesty was not extended. By
    the way, according to L. Zurabian, Armenian delegation's member,
    Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on State and Legal Issues David
    Haroutiunian struggled to remove these provisions from the Resolution
    text, therefore he is personally responsible for NA deputy Sasun
    Mikayelian's and other political prisoners' remaining in prison.

    L. Zurabian also attached importance to the circumstance that in spite
    of the authorities' efforts, the necessity of returning on air the A1+
    TV company is mentioned in the document.

    Meanwhile L. Zurabian said that but for Congress' efforts and people's
    struggle, the European structures would not have made these demands
    to the Armenian authorities.
