YEREVAN. – Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) fall session will be convened on October 1-5 in Strasbourg, France, and its agenda will be approved after September 3, National Assembly’s Prosperous Armenia Party Faction Secretary and Armenia’s PACE delegation member Naira Zohrabyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. 

In her words, it is difficult to say at this time as to whether or not there will be any plans concerning Armenia, but Azerbaijani political prisoners’ issue is on the agenda.

To note, Zohrabyan had raised an issue during PACE’s July session, and demanded PACE to conduct an international expertise research of Azerbaijani school textbooks, which are examples of Armenian-hatred, racism, and xenophobia. Also, Zohrabyan had promised to send respective documents and extracts from those textbooks to the Commissioner for Human Rights.

“I sent that entire package two days ago to the Council of Europe’s new Commissioner for Human Rights, and demanded an examination of these textbooks and application of sanctions against Azerbaijan,” Zohrabyan added.   

Armenian MP expects to receive the Commissioner’s response prior to the October 1 session. 

“In any case, I will raise this issue at the October session yet again, since the Commissioner is expected to present an annual report, and, subsequently, he must respond to PACE deputies’ questions,” said Naira Zohrabyan.
