    YEREVAN, MAY 5, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Five years of Armenia's
    membership to the Council of Europe - it's a good reason to estimate
    all achievements on this way. Jean-Louris Laurens, the Director
    General of Political Affairs of the Council of Europe stated about
    it. According to his estimation, repeal of the death penalty in Armenia
    and reformation of the Constitution of the country became a great
    achievement. He estimated positive Armenia's adoption of few dozens
    of laws and legislative acts, corresponding to demands of the Council
    of Europe. According to Jean-Louris Laurens, at present the Council
    of Europe and the European Union lead negotiations on widening the
    cooperation, thus, among the 46 countries of the Council of Europe
    and the 25 members of the European Union. According to Jean-Louris
    Laurens, in this sense, the role of the Council of Europe is getting
    great in implementation of the "New Neighborhood Policy." Besides,
    deepening of the cooperation with the European Union passes through
    the way of cooperation with the Council of Europe: "This circumstance
    shows that the way to Europe is single." Jean-Louris Laurens stated
    that the Council of Europe attaches great importance to holding
    free and democratic elections and connected with it, is going to
    concentrate its attention to holding the coming elections in Armenia:
    "We hope that a progress will be fixed in Armenia during the next
    elections. Free and just elections must be held, and the people's will
    must not be flouted." Responding to journalists' question about the
    issue that the Council of Europe is not successive in its own demands,
    and that the CE observers' delegation displayed its position rather
    clear after the falsifications in the November 27 referendum, the CE
    representative said that Armenia is not the only country among the
    CE members which has similar problems. To avoid problems during the
    coming elections, the CE is going to beforehand start corresponding
    work with state structures of Armenia.
