Sanctions of international organizations is not the best way for supporting democracy development in Armenia, press-secretary of Republican Party of Armenia [RPA], deputy of National Assembly Edward Sharmazanov said at today's press-conference in Hayeli club when commenting on the decision of PACE Monitoring Commission regarding fulfilment of 1609 and 1620 PACE resolutions by Armenia, reported ArmInfo.

He also added nobody from the present authorities came forward with threats to European structures, on the contrary, the authorities have always emphasized their gratitude for support and said their course is towards European integration. 'European parliamentarians could not but see the huge volume of the work implemented by the country for fulfilment of the requirements of resolutions 1609 and 1620. Of course, we still have problems regarding human rights protection and we are going to resolve them. But I think it is unreasonable to declare amnesty before passing sentence upon the persons accused of an attempt of the anti-constitutional coup. It may create dangerous precedent', - he said.

He also said "it is impossible to avoid dual standards application" in the politics, and at present it is

taking place in Armenia. But RPA press-secretary thinks that the prospect of depriving Armenia of the voting right in PACE is still not so clear.
