"There are certain accomplishments which are quite positive. No need
to go further in order to have Armenia’s reliability recognized not
only by the Armenians but also by the international structures and
first of all, the Council of Europe," Jorge Columbier, co-rapporteur
of the Monitoring Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe said, touching upon his visit to Armenia and the
Armenian authorities’ compliance with Resolution # 1609.

Mr. Columbier also pointed out that Armenia anticipates encouragement
for continuing the activities it has undertaken after adopting
Resolution # 1609 on April 17. "I really want the Council of Europe
and the PACE to give the authorities specific recommendations,
so as they will continue pursuing the path of democracy. This is
extremely important. I am sure that the Armenian authorities will
follow the recommendations and comply with the requirements," the
co-rapporteur said.

Mr. Columbier also added that Armenia anticipates "not only
condemnation but also help."
