    The only opposition member in the Armenian delegation to the
    Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), head of
    the Heritage parliament group Raffi Ovannisian has refused to take
    part in Assembly meetings until Armenia meets European standards,
    the Armenian media said on Thursday.

    The media said Ovannisian made a statement to that effect on Wednesday,
    when the Assembly was discussing a resolution on Armenia.
