YEREVAN, JANUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. By the draft agenda of the upcoming PACE session in Strasbourg on January 26-30, the discussions of the report on implementation of Resolutions 1609 and 1620 on democratic institutions in Armenia which were adopted by PACE in 2008, as well as the adoption of a resolution are scheduled to take place on January 27, at 10-12 am (1-3 pm local time). As NT correspendent was informed by the Armenian delegation in the PACE, it is envisaged that prior to being discussed at the session, the issue will be discussed once again by the PACE Monitoring Committee, taking into consideration the results of the co-rapporteurs John Prescott's and Georges Colombier's repeated visit to Yerevan in January. To recap, in Point 9 of the draft resolution on Armenia adopted at the December 17 sitting of the Monitoring Committee, it is proposed that PACE suspend the voting rights of the Armenian delegation as the Armenian authorities have not yet displayed a definite political will to solve the problem of accusing and imprisonment of people for political motivation in connection with the March 1-2 events in Yerevan.
