    Armenia met most of European body's demands, official says

    Yerevan, 31 May: A delegation of the monitoring committee of the
    Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will visit
    Armenia on 14-17 June. This was announced by Jerzy Jaskiernia, PACE's
    co-rapporteur on Armenia, at a meeting with Deputy Speaker of the
    National Assembly Tigran Torosyan today, the press service of the
    National Assembly told Mediamax news agency.

    At Jaskiernia's request, Torosyan commented on the domestic political
    situation in Armenia and the implementation of the resolutions passed
    at the winter and spring sessions of the PACE. Torosyan said that
    the opposition had rejected the proposals of the ruling coalition for
    resolving the existing problems through a political agreement. Instead
    the opposition opted for the tactics of staging demonstrations.

    Torosyan said that the Armenian authorities met most of the demands
    of the PACE resolutions, and that a detailed report will be prepared
    before the visit of the monitoring committee.

    Responding to Jaskiernia's question on bringing to book those who
    violated laws during the latest presidential and parliamentary
    elections in Armenia, Torosyan said that the Prosecutor-General's
    Office had recently submitted additional material on those cases. This
    document will be discussed by the National Assembly when the temporary
    parliamentary commission on European integration will deliver its
    report, Torosyan said.

    If need be, the additional material on the case will be submitted to
    the monitoring committee during its visit to Yerevan, he said.
