Unfortunately, the Council of Europe has been failing in its
\nprime mission for decades on end, i.e., to ensure democratic stability and
\nsecurity in the post-Soviet region. We still witness continuous conflicts and
\nwars unfolding, as well as the ethnic cleansing operations organized by
\nAzerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh. And they must still be prosecuted and condemned
\nfor this crime. Member of the RA Delegation to PACE Armen Gevorgyan said this
\nat the Oct. 12 plenary session of the PACE Autumn Session 2023, the RA NA
\nofficial website reports.
<\/p><\/p>\n
According to Gevorgyan, the experiments of the past 30 years
\nhave unfortunately led to the democracy and human rights transformation from
\ntrue values into a mechanism for advancing geopolitical interests.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“Not only has this instigated a rivalry between the
\nso-called liberal values and conservative ones, but it has also introduced the
\npractice of promoting democracy in non-democratic ways,” Gevorgyan said. He
\nalso noted that some PACE member states themselves do not fully hold to
\ndemocratic values and principles and because of their membership in this
\norganization, democracy in Europe has begun to regress.
<\/p><\/p>\n
In conclusion, Gevorgyan noted that every European Council
\nmember state has the full right to determine its national interests and to
\nfurther them in accordance with the fundamental documents adopted by the
\nCouncil.
<\/p><\/p>\n\n
“I can clearly say that Azerbaijan’s and Turkey’s further
\nmembership in the Council of Europe will mean nothing but the organization’s
\nideological demise,” Gevorgyan said.
