    CE FOLLOWING EQUALITY PRINCIPLE

    CE Secretary General Walter Schwimmer whose CE commissions end this June
    said at today's press conference that CE role becomes wider.

    "Council of Europe is more important than European Union. It is beyond
    controversy that CE must and does support all the states which are on the
    democratization way", Mr. Schwimmer said.

    Talking about Armenia's problems he voiced hope that CE will have its good
    offices for establishing stability in Armenia.

    CE demands the Armenian Authorities to honor the democratic ideas towards
    CE, human rights and legality and to engage in a dialogue with the political
    powers.

    "Ayb-Fe" asked Walter Schwimmer: "What do you mean saying the situation in
    Armenia must be settled in a democratic way only?". "Respect to lawfulness
    of human rights, responsibility of the Armenian Government and the legal
    bodies not to commit violence against the protestors, especially freedom of
    MPs, are the most essential. I call both Opposition and protestors for the
    same. But it is impossible to come out of the political crisis through
    violence and rallies. Sides must engage in a dialogue and to find peaceful
    ways. CE is well-experienced for eliminating crisis and our representative
    can assist parts in the dialogue", Walter Schwimmer said.
