After chair of the Swedish delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) and co-rapporteur of the PACE Monitoring Committee G\u00f6<\/span>ran Lindblad’s letter yesterday criticizing Armenian authorities in postponing visits with the co-rapporteurs was published in the media, local daily Jamanak<\/span> (“Times”) contacted the Swedish politician for further comments. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lindblad noted that after he handed the letter to PACE Armenian delegation chair Davit Harutyunyan, he was criticized by fellow co-rapporteur John Prescott. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Prescott was more like an Armenian than the Armenians. He was very angry, and I can’t understand why Prescott should be angry for the letter. He basically attacked me because of this letter,” said Lindblad, according to Jamanak<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Asked how he would evaluate the Armenian delegation’s actions in PACE, Lindblad said, “As I wrote in my letter, they are not yet mature enough for democracy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
