When this number is out of print, the fate of the Russian Federation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will be solved. Yesterday evening, the debate began, grew into a vote on the credentials of the Russian delegation. Earlier, the head of the Duma Committee for International Affairs Alexei Pushkov said that Russia will invite representatives of PACE to meet with Hope Savchenko, if it remains in the Assembly.
The original draft resolution, considered by the Committee, proposed to restore Russia’s right to vote, but to deprive her of the right to appoint deputies speakers, a member of the special committee to oversee the elections, as well as submitted to the Assembly in the structures of the Council of Europe.
However, a couple of hours to debate monitoring committee supported the amendment of depriving the Russian delegation the right to vote and be removed from the governing b odies of the PACE in 2015. The journalists said a member of the Committee of the Russian Federation, the deputy head of the Russian delegation Leonid Slutsky. “This amendment was passed by only one vote. Both the rapporteur on the authority of the Russian Federation Stefan Shennah acknowledged its destructive and destructive entire architecture of the resolution, “- he said.
The Russian delegation was still a chance to resolve the situation and bring about the return of powers to PACE at the plenary session of the Assembly. “If we take away the PACE, we use other platforms,” - said the deputy head of the Russian delegation.
As told reporters Alexei Pushkov, “Russia’s voting rights in PACE – is a fundamental right.” He expressed doubt about the fact that Russia’s withdrawal from the PACE will help Ukraine to overcome the crisis. “I do not think that the fa ct that Russia will cease to be a member of PACE, and in the future – a member of the Council of Europe, Ukraine will win, because in any case, the relationship between the two countries remain: the gas supply is, the supply of coal is, the trade continues, although it reduced – said the gun. – Ukraine, in my opinion, without Russia would be difficult to solve all the problems facing it ».
Commenting on the possible outcome of the vote, he said that the Russian delegation to the end of the current session will make a decision to continue the work of the PACE or not. “I think that it will happen either tonight or in the morning on Thursday,” – said the gun. And then he made a very surprising statement: “As a confirmation of the constructive position of our delegation decided to apply to the investigating authorities of the Russian Federation to provide an opportunity for representatives of PACE to visit Ru ssia to meet with Hope Savchenko, check the state of her health, to hold a conversation with her.”
However, according to him, such a proposal can be implemented only if the Russian delegation to PACE will. “If we suspend our membership in the Assembly, any official contacts with the PACE until the end of the year is not expected,” – said Pushkov.
Meanwhile, lawyer Mark Feigin Savchenko believes that the PACE can not make Russia its release. At yesterday’s meeting with members of PACE, he recalled that his client is starving the 48th day. “So we find ourselves in a critical area. That is, in the next 20 days conditionally we can get her death in prison or forced feeding, which she equates with torture, “- said the lawyer.
According to him, if you want Savchenko Moscow could change the measure of restraint for 24 hours. In practice, it would look as follows. PACE President Anne Brasseur applies in writing to the Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, as its delegate statu s in accordance with the Statute of the Council of Europe gives you the opportunity to demand the immediate release from custody. In turn, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refers to the Investigative Committee of Russia, which is a regulation change the measure of restraint for Savchenko believes Feigin.
