The only paragraph in the report which caused the Monitoring Committee's dissatisfaction concerns violations in the course of the 2003 elections, Mr Torosian added. The paragraph reads the Armenian authorities have offered the PACE no convincing proofs that judicial bodies stopped the arbitrariness of responsible persons.
