IS IT CLEARER?
Serzh Sargsyan received today Co-reporters of the PACE Monitoring Committee John Prescott and George Colombie. During the meeting the issues discussed were the fulfillment of the requirements of the PACE resolutions 1609 and 1620.
According to the press release, Serzh Sargsyan expressed gratitude to the co-reporters for their visit to Armenia before the PACE plenary session and underscored that the further deepening of democracy is in the interest of Armenia and highly valued the role of the Council of Europe. Serzh Sargsyan reaffirmed the resoluteness of the Armenian authorities to implement the propositions stated in the resolutions.
Secretary of the National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan told the co-reporters that there has been much progress in the fulfillment of resolutions 1609 and 1620. Baghdasaryan went on to say that Armenia has undertaken reforms and plans to implement them and the application of sanctions against Armenia during the PACE January session may hold the country back from making thos reforms. Thus, the Armenian administration expects a balanced position from the PACE, particularly proposals and deadlines for reforms.
Let us remind that the PACE had given Armenia until January 2009 to meet the requirements stated in the resolutions during its session back in June of last year.
