    ArmInfo. Raffi K. Hovannisian, leader of the Heritage Party and its
    faction in the National Assembly, took part from April 14 to 18 in
    the second part of the 2008 plenary session of the Parliamentary
    Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) as a member of Armenia's
    parliamentary delegation.

    The press-service of the Heritage Party reports that Raffi Hovannisian
    addressed the Assembly on three occasions, the first regarding the
    Progress Report of the PACE Bureau on the observation of the recent
    Armenian and other elections; the second during the current affairs
    debate on Implications of Kosovo's Declaration of Independence; and
    the third at the debate under urgent procedure on The Functioning of
    Democratic Institutions in Armenia.

    In the course of the PACE proceedings, the motion for a recommendation,
    entitled "The Present State of Armenian Cultural Treasures in Turkey,"
    coauthored by Raffi Hovannisian and 26 other MPs representing more than
    20 member states was referred for information to the PACE Committee
    on Culture, Science and Education. Hovannisian attended and addressed
    the meetings of this Committee and its Sub-Committee on the Cultural
    Heritage and the Sub-Committee on the Media; the Committee on the
    Honouring of Obligations and Commitments of Member States of the
    Council of Europe (Monitoring Committee); the Committee on Legal
    Affairs and Human Rights and its Sub-Committee on Human Rights;
    the Committee on Rules of Procedure, Immunities and Institutional
    Affairs; and the Group of the European People's Party and its Bureau of
    which he is a member. He also held informal consultations with Edward
    O'Hara, General Rapporteur on the Cultural Heritage, and several other
    colleagues. From Strasbourg, Raffi Hovannisian will travel to Serbia
    and Kosovo, where next week he will represent the Armenian delegation
    in a NATO Parliamentary Assembly mission to the region.
