During his visit to Strasbourg, Yerevan Mayor Gagik Beglaryan, in
the presence of RA Permanent Representative in the Council of Europe
Zohrab Mnatsakyan and Council of Europe Deputy Secretary-General Maud
de Boer-Buquicchio, signed the Additional Protocol to the European
Charter of Local Self-Governance on the right to participate in the
affairs of a local authority, and the third Protocol on the European
Outline Convention on Transfrontier Co-operation between Territorial
Communities or Authorities concerning Euroregional co-operation
groupings (ECGs).

Alas, there had been an occasion to sign the two new Council of Europe
protocols on November 16-17, 2009, in the Dutch city of Utrecht,
during the 16th session of the Council of Europe Conference Ministers
responsible for local and regional government. Better late than never,
they say.
