    PACE SHARES RESPONSIBILITY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS WITH RA AUTHORITIES, DAVID SHAHNAZARIAN SAYS

    By postponing the fulfilment of conditions set before Armenia with
    a new resolution N 1620 until January 2009, PACE has a goal to
    discuss the issue of Armenia after the presidential elections to
    be held in Azerbaijan. David Shahnazarian, a representative of the
    National Movement (NM), expressed such an opinion at the July 2 press
    conference. He represented the National Movement in Strasbourg together
    with Hovhannes Igitian. According to him, the Council of Europe
    continues showing a "balanced" attitude to Armenia and Azerbaijan,
    and an estimation to the presidential elections in the two countries
    will be given at the same sitting.

    D. Shahnazarian affirmed that PACE shares responsibility for existence
    of political prisoners in the country and other human rights violations
    with the Armenian authorities. He attached importance to the amendment
    made to draft resolution N 1620 at opposition's suggestion, according
    to which the issue of political prisoners will be discussed already
    in September.

    According to D. Shahnazarian, the activity of Armenia's parliamentary
    delegation was aimed at changing the imperative demands in the new
    draft resolution into advisory ones. Being busy with these problems,
    the delegation did noy pay attention to the resolution regarding
    Azerbaijan.

    While, according to D. Shahnazarian, the most dangerous provision
    for Armenia was in the very resolution, which mentioned that no
    democratization process can be implemented in Azerbaijan until that
    country's territorial integrity is restored.
