The speaker of Russia\u2019s upper house has told reporters that there are no plans to quit the Council of Europe, but added that the Russian delegation would not resume its work in the body\u2019s parliamentary assembly until its rights are restored. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as the issue of Russia leaving the Council of Europe is concerned \u2013 currently it is not on the agenda<\/em>,\u201d Senator Valentina Matviyenko said in an interview with RBC. \u201cWe cannot think of our future, existence and development without Europe and I think Europe thinks the same about Russia<\/em>,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Matviyenko reiterated the Russian position concerning participation in the Council of Europe\u2019s Parliamentary Assembly (PACE), however, saying that the country\u2019s delegation would not return to this body unless certain conditions are created for it. The senator refused to say when she expected the Russia-PACE conflict to be resolved, but noted that the process was currently heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n

The decisions of the assembly could not be considered legitimate in the absence of Russia\u2019s full pledged participation, Matviyenko said. She reminded reporters that Russia has insisted on changing the Council of Europe\u2019s charter in a way that would prevent national delegations from being deprived of voting rights in future.<\/p>\n

The conflict between Russia and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe started in 2014, after PACE stripped the Russian delegation of its voting rights and banned it from participating in ruling bodies or monitoring missions over Russia\u2019s alleged role in the political crisis in Ukraine. The sanctions remained in place during 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n

In response, the Russian delegation stopped participating in PACE work, and the Russian parliament passed a resolution stating that nations which have repeatedly violated international law and caused thousands of casualties have no moral right to judge Russia or impose sanctions on it.<\/p>\n

In addition, in mid-2017 the Russian Foreign Ministry released a statement informing the secretary general of the Council of Europe that the annual payment to the organization \u2013 which roughly corresponds to Russia\u2019s contribution to the PACE budget of around \u20ac11 million ($13 million) \u2013 would be suspended until the Moscow\u2019s delegation\u2019s rights are fully restored. In September, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy (United Russia) told reporters that Moscow would not unfreeze the payments unless PACE adopts a regulation that would rule out discrimination against national delegations.<\/p>\n
