    ArmInfo. The PACE Monitoring Committee works with both the authorities
    and the opposition and does its best to help the country monitored to
    develop in the right, democratic direction, Chairman of the Standing
    Parliamentary Commission for State and Legal Affairs, Head of the
    Armenian Delegation to PACE David Harutyunyan said, Tuesday.

    He pointed out that monitoring is a dynamic process, which may
    aggravate or dampen, and this depends not on the change of the
    Commission's position, but on the work done by the country. Armenia is
    constantly taking steps, some of them are assessed positively, some are
    criticized, and this is normal. From the viewpoint of amendments to the
    Criminal Code legislation in Armenia, we carried out our obligations,
    and the changes in accusations against the defendants were estimated
    positively",- David Harutyunyan said.

    Commenting upon the statement of Zaruhi Postanjyan, member of the
    heritage parliamentary faction and Armenian Delegation to PACE, that
    they will try to raise the issue of replacement of Co-Rapporteurs
    Prescott and Colombier, David Harutyunyan pointed out that any MP
    may raise this issue and added that Postanjyan is not a member
    of the Monitoring Commission. "This is an important issue, and
    the Monitoring Committee has considered possible introduction of
    the rotation principle, i.e. the variant according to which PACE
    Co-Rapporteurs implement their mission over a certain period of time,
    afterwards they are replaced by others",- he said.

    If one of the members of the Delegation disagrees with the nominees of
    co-rapporteurs, it is quite an ordinary phenomenon, but the decision
    on this is taken by the Monitoring Commission, he said. Harutyunyan
    added that the co-rapporteurs on Armenia are reasonable and experienced
    politicians. The fact that John Prescott held the post of Vice Premier
    longer than anybody in the history of Great Britain comments itself.
