Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe monitoring commission rapporteur on Armenia Jerzy Jaskiernia said that to prepare the report he had met with the authorities of Armenia, representatives of the political parties, including the opposition ones.

In the opinion of the highly informed western diplomat, not only the peace accord ready to being signed did not meet the interests of Azerbaijan, it was also unfavorable for H. Aliyev as a politician.

Secretary of the Security Council under the President of Armenia, Defense Minister Serge Sargsian and head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan Vladimir Pryakhin on the previous day signed a memorandum on destruction of Melange liquid missile fuel Soviet troops had left in the territory of the republic.

The preventive punishment regarding member of the political council of the Republic opposition party, former Defense Minister Vagharshak Harutyunian was changed: he is released from custody having given a written undertaking not to leave the city.

According to the newspaper ''Echo'', Baku, demonstrations of protest demanding to give Karabakh back to Azerbaijan are being held in Stepanakert. None of the sources confirmed this information. Our colleagues in Stepanakert assured there were no demonstrations in Karabakh. It is evident that this is another falsification.
