‘The reporter appointed by the Committee of Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe the Italian MP Renato Farina will objectively present the issue’ said the member of the Armenian delegation to the PACE Armen Roustamyan to the reporter of ‘Pastinfo’.

The matter concerns the report on the Measures to prevent abusive use of the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons, which derives from the discussion in the PACE during the autumn sessions with respect to Ramil Safarov’s extradition and giving pardon. A. Roustamyan highlighted that his conviction that R. Farina will prepare a ‘comprehensive, correct, deep report’ is conditioned with a ‘very adequate speech’ of R. Farina during the discussion of Ramil Safarov’s question in the scope of a current issue at the PACE plenary session by the demand of the same committee. Then the decision of the Committee followed to appoint a reporter on the affairs of misuse of the rights prescribed by the Council of Europe international agreement during the session to be held in November in Paris.

Let us recall that Davit Haroutyunyan stated at the press conference dedicated to briefing of the session results that since the question concerns the current discussion, then no formula was adopted with respect to Safarov’s question. However, he is full of hope that the Committee of Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the PACE will seriously deal with the misuse of rights prescribed by the CE conventions. ‘In other words, it is of course not only the report regarding Azerbaijan, but it derives from Safarov’s case and based on that case the Committee on Legal Affairs has to refer to that question. Perhaps, it could introduce a new formula to be adopted on how to avoid that or how to come to common interpretation, how not to deviate from the spirit of the international agreement’ said D. Haroutyunyan adding that as a rule such projects are prepared within two years.
