    Armenia's speaker, Council of Europe leader discuss regional cooperation

    YEREVAN

    Armenian National Assembly Chairman Artur Bagdasaryan and the visiting
    secretary-general of the Council of Europe, Bruno Haller, have
    discussed the prospects for developing cooperation between the
    Armenian National Assembly and the Parliamentary Assembly of the
    Council of Europe (PACE). The head of the PACE secretariat, (?Wojtech
    Savitskiy) and an executive director of the secretary-general of PACE,
    (?Peter Sich), took also part in the meeting, the press service of the
    Armenian parliament told Arminfo news agency today.

    The participants noted during the meeting that the Armenian parliament
    is doing its best to meet Armenia's commitments to the Council of
    Europe in the set period. Artur Bagdasaryan noted the importance of
    the opposition's participation in the constitutional and electoral
    reforms and the opposition's return to legislative activity. For his
    part, Bruno Haller noted that PACE never welcomed boycotts in any
    country and has called and is always calling for a return to
    legislative work in similar cases. The prospects of developing
    regional cooperation, holding joint consultations and forums between
    Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan at various political levels and
    elaboration and implementation of joint programmes were discussed at
    the meeting.

    Cooperation of the standing commissions and administration of the
    Armenian National Assembly with PACE were also discussed, as was Artur
    Bagdasaryan's initiative to hold under the PACE aegis a forum on
    European integration in 2005, to mark the 10th anniversary of the
    Armenian National Assembly, which, Bagdasaryan said, will undoubtedly
    reinforce democratization and cooperation.
