ITALIAN ENVOY REMINDS ARMENIA OF COMMITMENTS TO COUNCIL OF EUROPE.
Italian Ambassador to Armenia Paolo Andrea Trabalza reminded Prime
Minister Andranik Markarian on 24 June that compliance with the
commitments Armenia made when it was accepted in January 2001 into
full membership of the Council of Europe is an essential precondition
for Armenia's "rapid and unimpeded integration into the European
family," RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau reported. It is not clear whether
that admonishment was related to the approval by parliament last week
of a law that would preserve the death penalty in exceptional
circumstances, including for the five gunmen on trial for the October
1999 Armenian parliament shootings in which eight senior officials
were killed (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 21 June 2002). LF
