"Europe does not apply double standards to Armenia", considers president of the European movement in Armenia Viktor Yengibaryan.
"Europe has no double standards, it has a separate approach to each state", said he Wednesday.

"If Armenia is expected to be democratic, it is not a demonstration of double standards", added he.

According to Yengibaryan, the Council of Europe is a community of states for which democracy and human rights is important.

"Deprivation of Armenia's right to vote in  PACE will have hard implications both for European integration and for the external political weight of the country", considers he. According to him, the Foreign Ministry and the public organizations of Armenia must spare no efforts to prevent it", said he.
