Armenian Speaker pleased with "unprecedented" resolution of European
body
Yerevan, 29 January: Parliamentary Speaker Tigran Torosyan today
described as "unprecedented" a resolution on Armenia’s fulfilment of
its commitments to the Council of Europe. The Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe [PACE] passed the resolution at its winter
session.
Armenia managed to overcome the crisis triggered by previous
resolution No 1361, which envisaged suspension of the rights of the
Armenian delegation to the PACE in the event of a failure to comply
with the resolution’s recommendations, Tigran Torosyan said.
The speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia said that although
the new resolution is "positive for our country in an unprecedented
manner", European MPs made a number of remarks on issues concerning
the fight against corruption and on draft changes proposed to the
laws on TV and radio broadcast, and on alternative service.
