    DAVID HAROUTIUNIAN: ZARUHI POSTANJIAN SHOULD ADMIT HER MISTAKE AND NOT ACCUSE OTHERS

    YEREVAN, JULY 1, NOYAN TAPAN. PACE Resolution N 1677 on activity of
    democratic institutions in Armenia is very objective and determines
    the priorities Armenia should follow. David Haroutiunian, the head
    of the Armenian delegation in PACE, the Chairman of the National
    Assembly Committee on State and Legal Issues, RPA member, stated at
    the June 30 press conference.

    In response to journalists' questions he said that treats normally
    the proposals presented by Zaruhi Postanjian, Armenian delegation's
    member, Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction representative, at the session:
    the opposition should criticize and do its best for its political
    platform to be also presented in resolutions. However D. Haroutiunian
    is concerned with the staff of delegates signing under Z. Postanjian's
    proposals: all four persons are known for preconceived and extremely
    aggressive positions in the issue of Armenia and Karabakh. He mentioned
    Azeri delegate Hajibeyli's following statement made a year ago: "I
    think an honest member, opposition representative will also accept
    our positions connected with Nagorno Karabakh."

    Mentioning that Z. Postanjian "made a very gross mistake, it was very
    much like that she swallowed that bait," D. Haroutiunian considers
    that the Zharangutiun representative should admit her mistake
    and correct it and not find excuses contradicting each other and
    especially accuse others. In particular, D. Haroutiunian refuted
    Zharangutiun faction representatives' statements that he and Avet
    Adonts voted for the resolution introduced at the PACE Monitoring
    Committee sitting held between May 26 to 27 2008 in Kiev. Indeed,
    according to D. Haroutiunian, they boycotted the resolution in the
    committee and voted against it during the discussion in the Assembly.

    The resolution, in particular, read: "Stable democratic development
    will be too difficult in Azerbaijan until country's territorial
    integrity is restored."

    D. Haroutiunian said that in connection with the point proposed by
    Z. Postanjian on releasing all persons connected with the March 1-2
    events the Assembly has repeatedly said that only persons not having
    committed criminally liable actions should be released. D. Haroutiunian
    does not think, either that the fact-finding committee of experts
    should be recreated. "Today it is time that the NA Ad-hoc Committee
    receiving reports from fact-finding committee's individual members
    finish its work, especially as the term of committee's activity
    expires in September," he said.

    And publications in press over Z. Postanjian's activity at the PACE
    session, according to D. Haroutiunian, express the problem existing
    in society that "we see everything in black and white colors and are
    rather intolerant."
