The decision not to suspend Armenia’s voting rights in PACEM is a new chance for official Yerevan to accomplish the process of reforms, a member of the Armenian delegation to PACE said.
“The Assembly instructed its monitoring group to assess the steps the Armenian government undertakes to alleviate post-election tensions. We should carry out the essential reforms during a certain period of time,” Armen Rustamian said.
“During their recent visits to Armenia, the rapporteurs of the PACE monitoring committee made certain that the Armenian leadership demonstrated political will. A fact-finding group on March 1 events was formed. Amendments were introduced into articles 225 and 300 of the RA Penal Code,” he said.
