STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 11, ARTSAKHPRESS:"Russia’s delegation won’t be represented in PACE in January as the significant condition of our work there, namely the guarantees of non-discrimination of national delegations’ rights, has not been introduced in this organization’s regulations," said Tolstoy, who is in charge of international cooperation at the lower house of parliament.

"That’s why Russia’s decision to abstain from the work in PACE in the plenary format remains in force until the regulations are changed," he said.

The Russian official stated that any discrimination of national delegations first and foremost harms the organization itself.
