RA President Serzh Sargsyan received the Raporteurs of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe John Prescott and
George Colombier.
During the meeting the President of Armenia underlined that the
implementation of the provisions of the PACE resolution n. 1609 is in
line with his pre-election platform and concurs with the priorities
set by the political coalition. Serzh Sargsyan said that democratic
reforms are not limited to the implementation of the provisions of the
OSCE resolution only and will be continuous. The two sides spoke about
the steps undertaken by the working group established by the decision
of the President of Armenia and exchanged views on the implementation
of the recommendations contained in the resolution.
John Prescott hailed the creation of the special working group by
the President and measures taken toward the implementation of the
provisions of the resolution. Mr. Prescott stressed that even though
the PACE is well aware that the set time table is not sufficient for
registering comprehensive progress on all directions, the organization
however appreciates the apparent political will to do so. President
Sargsyan reiterated determination of the Armenian authorities to
steadily move the process of democratization forward.
