NA deputy Speaker Tigran Torosyan met with Hayke Renate Paychi, German
Ambassador to Armenia. During the meeting Tigran Torosyan attached
great significance to the improvement of political atmosphere in
Armenia and noted that the amendments to the electoral code are not
enough for holding elections by democratic criteria. He found the
hostility of political powers towards each other inadmissible and
focused on their rivalry.

The improvement of political atmosphere and the importance of holding
elections by democratic criteria will ensure the further security of
the integration in the European structures.

The two sides also referred to the activity of the German funds
in Armenia, emphasized the observation of the German parties’
experiment and its exchange with the Armenian parties ignoring
unilateral approach.
