Sergei Lavrov expressed hope that an objective look at what is happening in Ukraine still prevails in Western countries. But so far as could be seen at a meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, a number of states simply refuses to constructive dialogue. January 26 a group of deputies of the PACE challenged the authority of Russia in the winter session. They are dissatisfied with Moscow return to normal work of the Assembly.
deprive Russia of the right to vote at the beginning of the meeting by British Conservative Robert Walter.
“I would like to challenge the credentials of the delegation RF because they seriously violate the basic principles of the Council of Europe. The sanctions should be continued, “- called Robert Walter.
To the question carried to the need consent of at least 30 people from five countries and two different political groups. But there is no consensus.
“We know that many members of the delegations of other countries is very strong pressure not only from colleagues in the European Union, other international organizations, including through those lobbyists who are at European institutions “- admitted deputy chairman of the State Duma of Russia Sergey Zhelezniak.
The countries of Eastern Europe, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, the United Kingdom and, of course, Ukraine seems out of principle, oppose any proposals coming from Russia. Start session even not without provocation.
“The two relatively young men attacked, rushed, rushed. One we tried to twist. But they ran away,” – says the head attacked the Communist Party faction in the State Duma Gennady Zyuganov.
Despite the fact that the majority of MPs rejected a proposal to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine, the head of the PACE still did not miss the opportunity to once again raise the issue of pilots Savchenko, offering assign immunity. This issue at a meeting with the chairman of the State Duma on the eve Naryshkin caused a heated argument.
“It must be said about Ms. Savchenko, who can not attend the session because in custody in Russia. But if the address of one of the members Assembly there is a charge, a country where he or she is in custody, should be asked to remove the immunity of the person, “- said the President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Anne Brasseur.
” It is suspected of complicity in the commission of a serious crime – the murder of two Russian journalists. If guilt is proved, it will be released. The crime of which I told you it was done a few months before the elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. And it means that one of the political parties – the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc – consciously its electoral list includes a person suspected of serious crimes, “- says the Europeans especially political speculations Chairman of the State Duma of Russia Sergei Naryshkin.
But the main stumbling block – limiting the power of Russia. The formal reason – the Crimea to Russia. The vote is scheduled for the evening of January 28.
“The Charter does not provide for PACE loss of voting rights, and the statute – is more important than regulation. Link the April decision of the European Parliament and of the Council of Europe on the Crimean events are invalid. Because the reunification of the Crimea with Russia was carried out based on the results of the democratic process – the referendum. And if this annexation, the German annexation of the GDR, “- said Sergey Naryshkin.
The position of the Russian delegation remains unchanged – MPs are set to work and dialogue. But if the members of the organization yet again decide to deprive us of the powers – the delegation will leave the session and before the end of the year will suspend its participation in the PACE.
