Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has approved resolution on functioning of democratic institutions in Turkey.
The Assembly voted to re-open the monitoring procedure against Turkey closed in 2004 so as to intensify its co-operation with the Turkish authorities and all forces in the country.
As noted by a member of the Armenian delegation Samvel Farmanyan, prior to the vote Turkey threatened to take measures up to canceling its membership to PACE in case the document is approved.
