    Council of Europe, Serzh Sargsyan

    Within the framework of the working visit to Strasbourg, Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan met with the President of the Parliamentary
    Assembly of the council of Europe, Jean-Claude Mignon, CoE Secretary
    General Thorbjørn Jagland and Human Rights Commissioner Nils
    Muižnieks.

    Serzh Sargsyan and Thorbjørn Jagland made a statement for the press
    upon the conclusion of the meeting and answered the questions of the
    members of the Assembly.

    President Sargsyan said they discussed the priorities of the
    Armenian presidency of the Council of Europe, particularly the
    reforms implemented within the framework of the CoE, the raise of
    effectiveness of the European Court of Human Rights and the need to
    fight intolerance and racism.

    "Armenia attaches great importance to the productive activity of the
    Council of Europe and will continue to contribute to the raise of
    the role and standing of the structure in European architecture,"
    President Sargsyan said.

    "Armenian has always been committed to universal European values as
    a most important guarantee of our country's prosperity, pan-European
    cooperation, steady development and maintenance of peace. Democracy,
    rule of law, protection of human rights comprise the value system
    the vision of our country's development is rooted in," he added.

    The CoE Secretary General is set to visit Armenia to attend the
    High-Level Conference on Combating Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance
    in Europe to be held in Yerevan on 21-22 October. Referring to the
    conference, President Sargsyan said: "I think the issue is more
    than urgent today and we can resist these challenges thanks to the
    experience of the Council of Europe and the effective application of
    its legal tools."

    During the meeting the parties referred to the Karabakh issue and
    reiterated the trust in the format of the Minsk Group co-chairmanship.
