ARMENIAN NA SPEAKER’S DECISION POLITICALLY MOTIVATED – HERITAGE PARTY
13:31 ~U 24.10.13
The Heritage party condemns the procedure of forming Armenian
parliamentary delegations to international parliamentary assemblies
approved by Armenian Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan.
It is an infringement on the party’s rights, the party-issued
statement says.
According to the procedure approved on Wednesday, Heritage party
member Zaruhi Postanjyan (now head of the Heritage parliamentary
group) was removed from the Armenian delegation to the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in defiance of the PACE
Rules of Procedure.
The documents effective as of October 23, 2013, not only violate
the Heritage group’s right to equal representation at Armenia’s
delegations, but also establish the practice of infringement on
political pluralism and persecution of an MP for his or her political
views.
The Armenian Parliament speaker’s decision is politically motivated,
aimed at putting an end to the Heritage party’s political activities
at PACE, says the statement.
