Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian delegation in PACE was the only to fully vote against depriving the Russian delegation of its right to vote.

On April 10, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a resolution condemning “Russia’s military aggression and further annexation of Crimea”. According to the resolution, the Russian delegation is deprived of its right to vote until the end of 2014. 145 parliamentarians voted for the adoption of the resolution with a 21 against and 22 abstentions.

 

Four members of the Armenian delegation – David Harutyunyan, Mher Shahgeldyan, Arpine Hovhannisyan and Naira Karapetyan – voted against the resolutions, thus, the Armenian delegation was the only one to vote against it with its full complement.

 

The Azerbaijani delegation fully abstained.
