The statement by the delegation of the PACE observation mission
that arrived in Armenia on January 17 indicated that the upcoming
presidential election in the country was marred by distrust.
According to the sources close to the Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA), the statement may affect Head of Armenia's delegation to PACE
David Harutyunyan's career.
Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan, who is keenly interested in a
favorable impression the February 18 election is supposed to make on
the West, got furiously angry at the statement. He intends to deal
with Armenia's delegation to PACE after the presidential election.
Rumor has it that Mr Harutyunyan is likely to resign from his post. Mr
Harutyunyan himself was quick to claim that the PACE delegation's
statement was far from being unbiased.
"It has become a subject of serious discussions here, not there. As
regards changes in Armenia's delegation, no discussions have so far
been held. I do not rule out changes. They may take place at any time,"
Mr Harutyunyan told the newspaper.
