Fall session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is starting on Monday in Strasbourg, France, and it will continue until October 7. The session will also discuss Armenia, and PACE Co-Rapporteurs on Armenia John Prescott and Axel Fischer will present the report on the country’s democratic institutions.
As Naira Zohrabyan, member of Armenia’s delegation to PACE, earlier toldNEWS.am, during the Monitoring Committee’s session in Paris, Prescott and Fischer had presented the general outline of their report.
“According to the latest statement of PACE Co-Rapporteurs, they positively evaluate the latest political developments in Armenia, its stable political environment, and naturally appreciate the recent steps taken by political authorities,” Zohrabyan had noted. She also did not rule out the possibility that the Azerbaijani delegation could attempt to propose certain modifications in the report, but expressed confidence that the Co-Rapporteurs report will be adopted as it is.
In its turn, the Committee will present a resolution based on the report on prenatal determining of the gender of Doris Stamp’s child. The report accentuates the danger of prenatal determining of a child’s gender, specifically in Albania, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The report states that in Armenia the ratio between boys and girls is 112 to 100 respectively. The draft resolution also calls for the research of the reasons behind this phenomenon, and proposes to all Council-of-Europe members to prohibit physicians from prenatal informing of a child’s gender.
