He said that PACE also paid special attention to freedom of assembly and activity of the interim parliamentary committee that conducts own investigation into the March events.
In particular, PACE proposes concession principle of the committee's activity and stressed the necessity to concentrate efforts on detecting causes of March events and the criminal charges brought immediately after these events.
"This is very important provision. If efforts to restore public confidence in local institutions fail, PACE will put this issue on its floor", Harutyunyan said.
PACE also demands to ensure transparent and just tender for broadcasting license.
PACE voiced regret at the opposition unwillingness to make due steps for starting a dialogue with the authorities.
Harutyunyan said that Human Rights Commissionaire will read out his report on the committee's activity in September.
