/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The new chairman of PACE, Mevlut CavuÅ~_oglu,
arrived to Ankara on February 1 to meet Turkish leaders. Chairman
CavuÅ~_oglu was first received by President Abdullah Gul. The President
said the election of a Turkish parliamentarian as the head of PACE is
of vital importance in terms of illustrating Turkey's international
credibility and multilateral diplomacy that pursues peace and stability
in its region.
CavuÅ~_oglu was later received by Turkey's Parliament Speaker, Mehmet
Ali Å~^ahin, where he underscored the importance of human rights.
CavuÅ~_oglu also said the Council of Europe (COE) attached utmost
importance to the improvement of civil authority and considered the
issue as one of the basic pillars of democracy, TRT reported.
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe: the oldest
international parliamentary assembly with a pluralistic composition
of democratically elected members of parliament established on the
basis of an intergovernmental treaty. The Assembly is one of the two
statutory organs of the Council of Europe, which is composed of the
Committee of Ministers (the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, meeting
usually at the level of their deputies) and the Assembly representing
the political forces (majority and opposition) in its member states.
The assembly has a total of 642 members - 321 principal members and
321 substitutes [1] - who are representatives of each member state.
There are also 18 delegates from the Canadian, Israeli and Mexican
observers. The size of each country determines its number of
representatives and number of votes. This is in contrast in the
committee of ministers, where each country has one vote.
Each State member selects its method of designating its representatives
to the parliamentary assembly; however, they must be chosen from among
the members of the respective Parliaments. Moreover, the political
composition of each national delegation must reflect the representation
of the different parties within the respective parliaments.
