Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan hosted Wednesday the President of
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Mevlut
Cavusoglu, President’s press office reported.

Greeting the guest, the Armenian President voiced hope that the visit
of the delegation headed by the PACE President will help them get
acquainted and make a more objective idea on the challenges existing
in Armenia and the region.

"The visit will also provide opportunity to discuss agenda issues
and I’m sure, it’ll contribute to further deepening of cooperation
between Armenia and the Council of Europe, particularly between the
PACE and the Armenian National Assembly. We want and are ready to
intensify relations and cooperation," President Sargsyan said.

Mevlut CavuÅ~_oglu said, as a PACE newly elected President, he
considers deepening of relations between the PACE and the member
states, ruling out of the implementation of double principles with
the member states among the priorities of his commitments, to ensure
objective and balanced position to all of them.

The PACE President said PACE intensively cooperates with the Armenian
delegation. He highly assessed Armenia’s progress in the processes
of the democratic reforms and the anti-corruption struggle.
