/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minorities in Turkey was withdrawn from the agenda.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.
