January 15, RA Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan signed a decree on approval of Armenian delegation members to PACE. Abrahamyan de-listed oppositional Heritage party member Zaruhi Postanjyan.

Heritage parliamentary faction leader Stepan Safaryan considers Speaker’s decision illegal, saying that the latter violated RA law and PACE regulations. “We will revert to this illegal act, but prior to that we demand to present the protocol of the convened session, as well as procedure for the creation and activity of NA delegation in the international parliamentary organizations and intergovernmental commissions,” said Safaryan appealing to RA Speaker.
