On May 7 RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian addressed the 118th
session of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
Noting that today Armenia faces the issue of deepening democracy, which
is the reasonable choice of the people, and the Armenian Government is
resolute to make necessary steps in this direction, the Armenian
Foreign Minister praised the support of the Council of Europe, the
Committee of Ministers, the Parliamentary Assembly and the Human Rights
Commissioner.
`We have passed a certain way, but we realize that there is still much
to do and believe that making necessary efforts, we shall overcome all
the difficulties, will continue the reforms more resolutely not only
because we have assumed responsibility or because our friends want so,
but also because it is the reasonable choice of eth government and
people of Armenia,’ Edward Nalbandian declared. He continued that for
this purpose the new President of Armenia has expressed willingness to
ensure greater involvement of the society in the process of economic
reforms, inviting all forces and the public to join their efforts.

the willingness of the Armenian side to continue the current process
with the Minsk Group mediation. The mInister noted that the proposals
submitted by the Co-Chairs in Madrid provide opportunities to find
