The decision on participation of the Russian delegation in the regular session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will be taken by January 21.

“All these things happening now are mistakes that have big background. The issue appeared long ago. Even in the 1990s, they took a destructive position when there was a real war against international terrorism in the North Caucasus. This is not just a deprivation of the right to vote or speak,” First Deputy Head of the United Russia faction, a member of The Committee on Security and Corruption Control Adalbi Shkhagoshev Shkhagoshev Adalby Lyulevich Shkhagoshev
Adalby Lyulevich said.

The parliamentarian stressed that even if democracy in Russia is quite young, the country now teaches the European Union and the Parliamentary Assembly the lesson what real political relations mean.

“If there is no sincerity in those relations, then we will not participate in it. But if they are ready to cooperate, then we will show and prove every day that we are also ready to cooperate within the framework of international law,” Adalbi Shkhagoshev concluded.
