WHY DID PACE NOT DISCUSS HERITAGE'S TIMETABLE?
Tert.am
19:04 ~U 18.03.10
A timetable on reforms to the electoral system presented to the
Monitoring Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe (PACE) by Armenian opposition Heritage Party was not discussed
during the March 17 PACE session, probably because of shortage of time,
Heritage Party faction member Zaruhi Postanjyan told Tert.am.
The National Assembly's Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs
timetables had been presented to PACE's Monitoring Committee also by
the Armenian National Congress and the Heritage Party.
Postanjyan said she was sure that the document had reached the
Committee, adding that it was not yet clear how it might be discussed.
"Any document presented by me has certainly been discussed in PACE,
one way or another. I am sure that this document will not be left to
inattention either," said she.
According to Postanjyan, the fact that PACE co-rapporteurs Georges
Colombier and John Prescott are expected to visit Armenia and hold
hearings also with opposition representatives means that opposition's
viewpoint has not been fully presented to the Committee.
"Therefore, Colombier and Prescott want to get acquainted with our
views on the spot, explained Postanjyan.
