    ArmInfo. The laurels of this 'progress' belong to Armenian
    Parliamentary Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, Prosecutor General Aghvan
    Hovsepyan and Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE, Chairman
    of the Parliamentary Commission for State and Legal Affairs David
    Haroutiunyan, Hovhanness Igityan, a member of the Armenian Pan National
    Movement (APNM), the former head of the Armenian delegation to PACE
    told ArmInfo. 'The Monitoring group declared in Valencia that Armenia
    has registered process in fulfilling the commitments to PACE basing
    on the following facts. When the co-rapporteurs arrived in Yerevan
    in January and met with Aghvan Hovsepyan, the prosecutor told them
    that the law did not allow clear and grounded accusations against
    the arrested after March 1 2008. Then the co-rapporteurs submitted
    the prosecutor's complaint to the parliamentary speaker, who, in
    his turn, promised to amend the law. As regards David Haroutiunyan,
    he has amended the law within the shortest period of time. Basing
    on this, the Monitoring group highlighted progress in Armenia's
    commitments to PACE', Igityan said. PACE Monitoring Committee met
    in Valencia on March 30. The Committee discussed the amendments
    to Articles 225 (mass disorders) and 300 (power usurpation) of
    the Armenian Criminal Code as well as the proceedings in 'the Case
    of the Seven'. Armenian parliamentarians, the head of the Armenian
    delegation to PACE David Haroutiunyan, a member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun
    Party faction in the Armenian Parliament Armen Rustamyan, a member of
    the Heritage opposition party faction Raffi Hovannisian and non-party
