    The political structures of Armenia should draw certain conclusions
    from the latest PACE report on Armenia: there are shortcomings in the
    political field that should not exist, member of the Republican Party
    faction Mkrtich Minasyan told a press conference today. According to
    him, the political forces from the ruling and opposition fields should
    learn lessons.

    `It's noted in PACE Resolution that the Armenian laws are good, but
    their implementation is non-sufficient. The laws, particularly, the
    Electoral Code, have been diligently worked our by parliamentary
    committees, aspiring to have these correspond to European standards.
    `However, any law needs reconsideration and amendment from time to
    time,' Mkrtuich Minasyan said.

    According to the Deputy, certain works have been done in the direction
    of accomplishing the requirement of the PACE Resolution #1609. In
    particular, the law on meetings has been amended, a Public Council has
    been established adjunct to the President's Office, which will include
    representatives from the coalition and the non-parliamentary forces.
    `Unfortunately, the radical opposition refused to participate, which
    would be desirable,' Mkrtich Minasyan added.

    Speaking about the arrested, the MP noted that he cannot give legal
    assessments being in the political field, it's the task of the courts
    and the prosecutor's office. `Those who have not committed crimes will
    be released,' he said.

    `The society has expectations, and steps will be taken to raise public
    trust,' Mkrtich Minasyan said.
