    DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS SACRIFICED TO PACE POLITICAL INTERESTS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Environmental problems and Georgian-Russian war
    were in focus of PACE autumn session.

    "I suppose democratic reforms in Armenia were not included in the
    agenda because of the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish
    relations," Heritage parliamentary group member Zaruhi Postanjyan
    told a news conference in Yerevan.

    "At that, PACE monitoring commission noted some progress in democratic
    processes in Armenia," she said.

    She also informed that discussion of the problems of national
    minorities in Turkey was withdrawn from the agenda.

    "The fact that PACE hailed the process of Turkey-Armenia reconciliation
    and exclusion of existing problems from the agenda proves that PACE
    is guided by its political interests but not by democracy or human
    rights," Postanjyan said.
