    "The European direction of Armenia's foreign policy is a result of
    reasonable choice, which is rooted in a common value system, rich
    cultural and Christian heritage and derives from our domestic agenda,"
    Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan said at
    the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly
    of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Yerevan.

    "Armenia is part of European civilization with its past and present,
    with its commitment to establish democracy, ensure rule of law,
    protect human rights and fundamental freedoms," Mr. Abrahamyan said,
    adding that "with this understanding Armenia joined the Council of
    Europe in 2001, reconfirming its historic and cultural adherence to
    all-European values."

    The Speaker said the first presidency of the Council of Europe
    Committee of Ministers is a significant event and a great
    responsibility.

    "Armenia is assuming the presidency with an ambitious agenda,"
    Abrahamyan said, assuring that Armenia will spare no efforts to resist
    the challenges the Council of Europe faces, particularly demonstrations
    of intolerance, xenophobia and racism.

    The Speaker reiterated Armenia's commitment to its policy of European
    integration. "We have the necessary political will to enhance the
    process of reforms, build a secure and democratic state. This is
    the choice of our people, our citizens. We confirm our willingness
    to continue the active and effective cooperation with the European
    structures," Hovik Abrahamyan concluded.
