/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe
(CMCE) has just adopted a recommendation for the attention of the
Armenian authorities on measures they could take to improve the
application of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages
in Armenia. These measures particularly include improving the presence
of regional or minority languages in education, before courts and on
radio and television. The Armenian authorities are also encouraged to
clarify whether there are any other regional or minority languages
used in Armenia apart from those mentioned in Armenia's instrument
of ratification.
The recommendation follows the evaluation report prepared by the
Charter's Committee of Independent Experts, using information submitted
by Armenia and by NGOs, and obtained during an on-the-spot visit by the
Committee of Experts to Armenia. During this visit, meetings were held
with representatives of the regional or minority languages spoken in
Armenia, including representatives of NGOs, as well as representatives
of the Armenian authorities, reports Council of Europe Press Service.
