The attempt made by the Head of Armenian delegation in PACE Tigran Torosyan to put forward member of Russian parliament Vera Oskina to speak on behalf of the European Democrats Group during the discussion on the draft of Boris Chilevich's report entitled "Refugees and Forced Migrants in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia", has been prevented, said Ganira Pashayeva, member of parliamentary delegation to PACE.

"Speeches of representatives of four fractions within PACE are very important and influence the direct result of discussions", Ms Pashayeva said, adding that by the decision group members' made April 12 in Strasburg British parliamentary member Robert Walter will be speaking on this issue.

Ms Pashayeva said Azerbaijani representatives have protested Mr. Torosyan's initiative, demanding the representative of "more neutral state" speak on behalf of European democrats.

"Mr.Walter is famous for his unbiased position on South Caucasus", Ms. Pashayeva said.

We have to note that Mr Chilevich's report is the last on the agenda of the final day (April 13) of spring session of PACE in Strasburg, Trend reports.
