    June 29, 2009

    YEREVAN, JUNE 29, NOYAN TAPAN. The Parliamentary Assembly of Council
    of Europe (PACE) at the June 25 evening sitting adopted Resolution
    N 1677 on activity of democratic institutions in Armenia. It is
    already the fourth resolution on the same issue adopted after the
    2008 presidential elections.

    The Resolution, in particular, stipulates that the demands and
    proposals of PACE Resolutions N 1609 and 1620 adopted in 2008,
    as well as of Resolution N 1643 adopted in 2009 are a concrete and
    realistic "road-map" of overcoming the political crisis that emerged
    after the presidential elections in Armenia and they are completely
    in force. According to it, PACE will continue observing the process
    of fulfillment of the Resolutions' demands.

    In that respect, in particular, the Resolution attaches importance to
    reforms in the spheres of justice, Police, electoral systems and to
    the necessity to reveal the death circumstances of the 10 persons who
    died on March 1. The Resolution stipulates that the Assembly welcomes
    Armenian President's decision, by which he demands from the Prosecutor
    General to introduce a complete report on the investigation to the NA
    Ad-hoc Committee on Events Occurred on 1-2 March in Yerevan and Their
    Reasons. Meanwhile PACE feels sorry for dissolution of the fact-finding
    committee and calls the committee former members for presenting their
    conclusions to the above mentioned NA Ad-hoc Committee.

    PACE also welcomes the decision on granting an amnesty mentioning that
    it is going to observe the further developments regarding cases of
    persons accused or convicted on March 1 events, to whom the amnesty
    did not extend.
