An urgent debate on Armenia at the plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is warranted, according to the head of PACE's Monitoring Committee.

Progress made so far by the Armenian authorities in meeting the ssembly's demands following the February 2008 post-election violence has been judged insufficient by the committee's co-rapporteurs Georges Colombier (France, EPP/CD) and John Prescott (United Kingdom, SOC), its chair Serhiy Holovaty said in a letter today to the Assembly's President.

The two parliamentarians made a two-day visit to the country (16-17 June) to assess progress, in line with an earlier decision taken by the committee in Kyiv.
