functioning of the judicial system in Armenia, and they would like to
have a vision of when the authorities intend to fulfill these
recommendations. According to them, they expect the promised specific
results on the work done, as well as the opinions of CE different
departments which assisted the Armenian authorities on this way. The
co-rapporteurs say they hope to agree a clear, detailed and unique
operational diagram for Armenia together with RA National Assembly,
including the terms for implementation of the basic reforms, after
different political forces in Armenia will be heard.
They added that these reforms are in favour of all the Armenians in
the longer term, since no one wants reoccurrence of March, 2008,
events.
