YEREVAN. – The Armenian delegation presented offers on reforming Turkey’s religious and education rights during the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE Davit Harutyunyan presented the results of spring session during the Tuesday press conference. The offer on religious rights was made by delegate Arpine Hovhannisyan and on education – by Naira Karapetyan.

Despite Turkey’s efforts to block the offers, both were included in the report on Turkey. The country is obliged to expand authority of non-Muslim communities and respect religious freedom, in particular this refers to judiciary and property rights. Harutyunyan noted that religious minorities are not registered as legal entities and, thus, cannot have property.
