Армении грозят санкции ПАСЕ

Часть армянского общества не признает легитимность прошедших в стране 19 февраля президентских выборов, продолжая оспаривать их результаты.
Об этом сегодня в Ереване заявил лидер Объединенной трудовой партии (ОТП), член временной парламентской комиссии по изучению происшедших в городе Ереване 1-2 марта событий и их причин Гурген Арсенян.
По его словам, сложившаяся ситуация может привести к негативным последствиям для Армении со стороны ПАСЕ, о чем в ходе своего визита в Ереван ясно заявил президент ПАСЕ Луис Мария де Пюч. Выступая в Национальном пресс-клубе, Арсенян сообщил, что высокопоставленный европейский чиновник на встрече с членами временной парламентской комиссии выразил недовольство выполнением Арменией своих обязательств перед Советом Европы, что может привести к введению определенных санкций уже в ходе осенней сессии ПАСЕ.
Лидер ОТП заявил, что в Уголовном кодексе Армении нет статей, предусматривающих преследования за политические убеждения. «Но при этом любая действующая власть, особенно в постсоветских странах, имеет соблазн использовать УК против своих политических соперников, и в этом плане Армения, увы, не исключение», отметил Арсенян, отвечая на вопрос о наличии в стране политзаключенных.
