    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia's Prime Minister and President-elect Serzh
    Sargsyan met today with delegation of AGO group led by Ambassador
    Per Sjogren , the RA government's press office reported.

    "The AGO group includes ambassadors from 9 states.

    This testifies of friendly attitude toward Armenia and interest of
    the Council of Europe in cooperation with your republic," Mr Sjogren
    said, assessing the process of Armenia's integration into European
    structures as friendly and constructive.

    The Ambassador pointed out to progress in legislative sphere
    and submitted some proposals based on European principles and
    standards. "Allegiance to democratic values often demands tough
    approaches. Our proposals are meant to ease tensions, establishment
    of talks with opposition and restoration of popular consent," he said.

    "We never rejected dialogue. We negotiated with various political
    forces before the presidential election," Mr Sargsyan said, for his
    part. "Although the Republican Party gained votes sufficient for a
    sole government, a coalition was formed. The authorities will proceed
    with reforms engaging various strata of society. Armenia will remain
    true to the policy of European integration."

    The President-elect answered a number of questions regarding struggle
    against corruption, reforms, Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
    and perspectives of the Armenian-Turkish relations.
