VOICE OF ARMENIA'S OPPOSITION ONCE AGAIN STIFLED: SAFARYAN ON PACE DECISION
Tert.am
17:24 ~U 26.01.10
The decision by the PACE Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities
and Institutional Affairs today, to approve the Armenian delegation's
mandates, was the usual step in stifling the voice of Armenia's
opposition, said Heritage Party parliamentary faction leader Stepan
Safaryan, in speaking with Tert.am today.
"That decision means that the Armenian ruling landing party [that is,
those who have been assigned by the authorities] once again stifled
the voice of Armenia and Armenia's opposition," said Safaryan, adding
that that decision "is not the end," all is not lost, and that they
will respond with a statement soon.
As previously reported, the RA National Assembly Chair had approved a
decision to make a change to the make-up of the Armenian delegation:
opposition Heritage Party member Zaruhi Postanjyan had been replaced
with Rule of Law party member Ardzruni Aghajanyan.
