YEREVAN, JANUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. A number of Armenian NGOs filed an application to the members of the PACE in connection with the recent change that the RA National Assembly speaker made in the membership of the Armenian delegation in the PACE. It is noted in the application that "the ultimate goal of this change is to deprive the representative of Heritage Party - the only real opposition party represented in the Armenian parliament - of the opportunity to voice the real concerns of the Armenian people at the PACE and to reveal the truth about the real situation in Armenia." "The main reason for the change is the fact that active participation of Heritage Party's representative in PACE sessions, particularly in meetings of the Assembly's Monitoring Committee is becoming dangerous for the Armenian authorities," the application reads.
