The Armenian authorities tried to make the Armenian delegation to PACE easier controllable, but their plans failed, Vladimir Karapetyan, member of the Armenian National Congress (ANC), told NEWS.am. Commenting on the fact that PACE did not confirm the Armenian delegation’s powers, Karapetyan said it proves that even minor steps taken by the Armenian authorities are doomed to failure. And this happens after a Turkish representative has been approved as candidate for PACE presidency.

As to the consequences Turkey’s Presidency may have for Armenia, Karapetyan pointed out that no problems will arise if the Armenian authorities honor their commitments and trop deceiving their own people. “Problems may arise under any authorities,” Kara[etyan said.
