Fall session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
(PACE) is starting on Monday in Strasbourg, France, and it will
continue until October 7. The session will also discuss Armenia,
and PACE Co-Rapporteurs on Armenia John Prescott and Axel Fischer
will present the report on the country's democratic institutions.
As Naira Zohrabyan, member of Armenia's delegation to PACE, earlier
told Armenian News-NEWS.am, during the Monitoring Committee's session
in Paris, Prescott and Fischer had presented the general outline of
their report.
"According to the latest statement of PACE Co-Rapporteurs, they
positively evaluate the latest political developments in Armenia,
its stable political environment, and naturally appreciate the recent
steps taken by political authorities," Zohrabyan had noted. She also
did not rule out the possibility that the Azerbaijani delegation could
attempt to propose certain modifications in the report, but expressed
confidence that the Co-Rapporteurs report will be adopted as it is.
In its turn, the Committee will present a resolution based on the
report on prenatal determining of the gender of Doris Stamp's child.
The report accentuates the danger of prenatal determining of a child's
gender, specifically in Albania, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The report
states that in Armenia the ratio between boys and girls is 112 to 100
respectively. The draft resolution also calls for the research of the
reasons behind this phenomenon, and proposes to all Council-of-Europe
members to prohibit physicians from prenatal informing of a child's
gender.
