RA Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian received Terry Davis, the Secretary
General of the Council of Europe.
The Prime Minister welcomed the Secretary General's visit to our
country, underlining that cooperation within the CoE framework is
extremely important for Armenia. Terry Davis noted with pleasure that
during the visit he had the opportunity to get acquainted with the
historical-cultural values of Armenia. He visited the Matenadaran,
the Armenian Genocide Memorial and Haghpat.
During the conversation the interlocutors turned to the process of
Armenia's European Integration, underlining that the parliamentary
election of May 12 was a progress on this route and it can serve as
a good basis for the forthcoming presidential poll. The presidential
elections should a step forward, they said.
The parties emphasized the importance of the efforts taken in the
direction of establishing peace and stability in the region. In this
context reference was made to the process of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict resolution.
Terry Davis noted that the CoE has not assumed the stance of a
passive viewer on this issue considered within OSCE framework. He
said the organization is trying its best to establish trust between
the conflicting parties.
At the end of the meeting the Armenian Prime Minister and the Secretary
General of the Council of Europe expressed confidence that due to
interested and effective cooperation Armenia's commitments in the
framework of the CoE membership will be properly accomplished in
due time.
