    YEREVAN, AUGUST 1, ARMENPRESS: The autumn session of Parliamentary

    though the staff of the delegation is not approved, it is going
    to comprise RPA - Davit Harutyunyan, " Rule of law" party - Mher
    Shageldyan, RPA member Vahe Hovhannisyan is set to substitute the main
    staff. "As long as the composition of the delegation is not finally
    confirmed, I can say nothing about the rest members. The agenda is
    also not approved, yet it is defined, that the issues pertain to
    Azerbaijani political prisoners is going to be envisaged in autumn
    session" Zohrabyan came forth with.

    to Human Rights Commissioner of the Council of Europe, demanding
    international expertise of Azerbaijani textbooks. " I have raised the
    question still during July session, stressing Azerbaijani textbooks
    directly propagandize hatred towards Armenians. As samples I brought
    Russian translation of the texts, where Armenians are described
    as murderers for Azerbaijani people. Those examples together with
    relevant translations will be sent to Human Rights Commissioner in
    coming two weeks" Zohrabyan noted.

    In the words of the interlocutor a draft calling EC member states
    draw a special attention to school textbooks, in order they would not
    comprise xenophobia, racism and religious hatred was circulated in July
    session . In this regard we want to show off, if drafts are ratified,
    then the initiators should be consistent in their fulfillment:
    reportedly Azerbaijan brings up its generation with hatred towards
    Armenians. I am going to attach a letter written by an Azerbaijani
    woman to the document .The author of the letter is afraid her child
    will grow sadist by being brought up with the vivid samples of hatred
    towards Armenians depicted in the school textbooks" Zohrabyan stated.
