President of Armenia Serzh Sarkissian received the Raporteurs of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe John Prescott and George Colombie.

During the meeting the President of Armenia underlined that the implementation of the provisions of the PACE resolution n. 1609 is in line with his pre-election platform and concurs with the priorities set by the political coalition. Serzh Sarkissian said that democratic reforms are not limited to the implementation of the provisions of the OSCE resolution only and will be continuous. The two sides spoke about the steps undertaken by the working group established by the decision of the President of Armenia and exchanged views on the implementation of the recommendations contained in the resolution.

John Prescott hailed the creation of the special working group by the President and measures taken toward the implementation of the provisions of the resolution. Mr. Prescott stressed that even though the PACE is well aware that the set time table is not sufficient for registering comprehensive progress on all directions, the organization however appreciates the apparent political will to do so. President Sarkissian reiterated determination of the Armenian authorities to steadily move the process of democratization forward.
