American lawyer and international human rights defender Robert Amsterdam referred to the PACE report which referred to the parliamentary elections in RA.
“The latest PACE report on Armenia is not just a piece of paper. it is a deep disappointment for me and, I will not be afraid to say, it is just a shameful blow to democracy.

As a person who has devoted 45 years of his life to the defense of the rule of law, I am shocked by the one-sided and distorted picture that international observers are trying to present. I have just returned from Armenia and I saw with my own eyes what the authors of this report chose to keep silent about.

They do not notice Pashinyan’s regime’s attacks on the church, illegal detentions and open misuse of state resources. This is not democracy, this is political hypocrisy.
My message is clear. The future of Armenia should be decided only by the Armenian people, the pillar of whose identity is the Church.
