/PanARMENIAN.Net/ European experts will soon arrive in Armenia to
monitor state of cultural monuments in the republic. "Armenia has
given consent on conduction of monitoring on its territory," Council of
Europe Secretary General Terry Davis told a news conference in Yerevan.
"Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan said Yerevan will not prevent the
monitoring even if Azerbaijan refuses to host the mission. This step
proceeds from Armenia’s interests, since it will enhance the prestige
of the republic," Mr Davis said.
He informed that European mission will head for Armenia in the near
future. "We must thoroughly study all accusations of the sides,"
he said.
He refused to say whether the CoE will give an appropriate assessment
in case Azerbaijan blocks the mission. "If I criticize Azerbaijan
when in Armenia and vice versa, it won’t do relationship good,"
Mr Davis said, IA Regnum reports.
