Council of Europe is ready to help Russia with investigation of Politkovskaya's murder

Rene Van der Linden, Chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), has declared that PACE is ready to help Russia in investigating the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya, if "the investigation will come to a deadlock," the NEWSru informs.

"We are not a police organization, but we can use our political authority," the PACE Chairman stressed at the press conference in Moscow on January 12. He called the Russian authorities "to hold the most scrupulous investigation and to bring the culprits to justice."

So far, the employees of the "Novaya Gazeta" and the "Reporters without Borders" international organization are satisfied with the progress of the investigation of the journalist's murder.

"We intend to go on monitoring the progress of the case," the PACE Chairman has assured. He did not exclude a possibility of a report to be prepared by the Council of Europe in relation to Anna Politkovskaya's murder, the ITAR-TASS reports.
