"UKRAINE CARRIES ON ANTI-ARMENIAN PROPAGANDA IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS", - HEAD OF PACE ARMENIAN DELEGATION ASSERTS
Head of the Armenian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Hovhannes Hovhannisian stated in an interview to "Mediamax" agency that Armenia did not intend to support Ukraine in course of the discussion of the report on fulfillment of obligations undertaken by that country when joining the Council of Europe. The discussion is due to take place at PACE autumn session. In Hovhannisian's words, such a decision of the Armenian delegation results from the fact that "Ukraine lately carries on anti-Armenian propaganda in a number of international organizations." The Parliamentarian said serious hearings were also expected concerning Georgia meeting its engagements. "We have some questions to the Georgians, too. But taking into consideration they are our neighbours, we will have a friendly attitude towards Georgia", - Hovhannes Hovhannisian said.
