Armenia could face a new bout of political upheaval if its government fails to hold "genuinely democratic" elections and implement other reforms, according to two senior representatives of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (PACE).
The PACE’s co-rapporteurs for Armenia, John Prescott and Axel Fischer, have also renewed their calls for the release of all Armenian opposition members remaining in prison.
The two men issued the warning late last week as they briefed the PACE’s Monitoring Committee on their recent fact-finding visit to Yerevan .
“The successful conduct of the [next] elections is essential for the normalization of the situation and democratic consolidation of Armenia,” they said in an “information note” submitted to the panel.
