The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has called for the release of all Armenians held in Azerbaijan. Deputy speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, Ruben Rubinyan, wrote about this on Facebook

“A short while ago, a resolution entitled PACE ‘Progress in the Assembly’s Monitoring Procedure’ was adopted in Strasbourg, where in the part concerning Armenia, among other things, the assembly expresses deep concern ‘regarding information about plans to seize power [in Armenia] by several [Armenian Apostolic] Church clergymen,’ and in the part concerning Azerbaijan, among other things, a call is made to release all Armenians held there,” Rubinyan wrote.
