RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan today received the delegation headed
by the President of the Constitutional Court of the Federal Republic
of Germany Hans-Jurgen Papier. Tigran Sargsyan attached importance
to the cooperation of the Constitutional Court of Armenia with the
Constitutional Court of Germany, which has an experience and traditions
of sixty years. "The Constitutional Court of Armenia is younger, but
has passed through rather serious trials," said the Prime Minister,
presenting to the guests the way Armenia has passed since gaining
independence: development of statehood, formation of authorities,
establishment of the Constitutional Court. "If during the first years
of development of statehood it was important to create necessary legal
bases, then today it is already important to ensure the maintenance of
the adopted laws and constitutional norms," Tigran Sargsyan underlined.

The President of the Constitutional Court of Germany Hans-Jurgen
Papier expressed willingness to share the experience of his country’s
Constitutional Court with the Republic of Armenia, noting that Germany
is interested in passing this experience to the Constitutional Courts
of Eastern and South-Eastern countries.

At the end of the meeting Tigran Sargsyan thanked the President of
the German Constitutional Court for the willingness to cooperate,
expressing hope that the visit will be useful and productive. Availing
himself of the opportunity, PM Tigran Sargsyan turned to the
cooperation between the Governments of Armenia and Germany, highly
appreciating the technical assistance Germany has rendered to our
country.
