YEREVAN, July 1. /ARKA/. Refusal of opposition member of Armenian Parliament Raffi Hovhannisian to participate in the summer session of PACE was hardly the best solution as Armenia has not become a more democratic country after it, the Press Secretary of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Eduard Sharmazanov said.
The head of Heritage faction Raffi Hovhannisian is the only representative of Armenian opposition in the Armenian delegation to PACE who refused to participate in the recent PACE session. Hovhannisian said he will not participate in PACE sessions unless Armenia fulfills its commitments to the CE.

The Head of the Armenian delegation to PACE David Harutiunian pointed out that the Heritage factions head’s leaving does impede the Armenian side in the CE.–0--
