“We have often participated in OSCE Parliamentary Assembly activities and Armenian delegates always voiced national issues,” Rule of Law party member, RA NA delegation member in OSCE PA Khachik Harutyunyan stated at Feb. 5 briefing. Earlier, Heritage faction and OSCE PA member Larisa Alaverdyan barred from participating in PA activities said she intended to put forward new initiatives and prevent Azerbaijani delegation steps to constantly refer to the implementation of 4 UN resolutions. “We should disclose the content of these resolutions; they enable us to play white as under the document Azerbaijan also has obligations and issues to tackle,” she noted.

Asked whether Armenian delegates will be able to raise same issues at the meeting without Alaverdyan’s participation, Harutyunyan replied: “There is indeed a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and we are winning. If we succeed in presenting national interests, it is irrelevant who does it — authorities or opposition.”

Khachik Harutyunyan (RLP), Artak Davtyan (RPP) and Aram Safaryan (PAP) represent Armenian delegation in OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.
