Levon Zurabyan, who represents the opposition Armenian National
Congress in Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly's Armenian
delegation, is going to be replaced in rotation next year.
But the politician does not quite approve idea as he attributes that
to the Armenian authorities' efforts to restrict the opposition's
chances in the Assembly.
Speaking to Tert.am, he said the plan has yet to be finalized.
Zurabyan is more interested in the committees dealing with legal and
political affairs.
"If [the plan] is confirmed, that will mean that continuous efforts
are being made to debar the opposition from raising its voice in PACE,"
he said.
Asked what he thinks about a possible argument that the ANC is not the
only opposition force in Armenia, Zurabyan answered: " Mher Shahgeldyan
(Rule of Law party) seems to be the only replacement."
At the end, the activist promised to give a more detailed answer
after studying the matter.
