YEREVAN, March 16. /ARKA/. The CE Ministers’ Committee has approved a
program of action as part of the Armenia-CE cooperation for 2006-2007,
the press and information department, RA Foreign Office, reported.
RA Permanent Ambassador to the CE, Ambassador Christian Ter-Stepanyan
reported that the program takes into account the program made by
Armenia in executing its commitments during its 5-year membership in
CE. He expressed satisfaction over the fact that the document considers
the prospects opened up after the adoption of constitutional reforms in
consolidating the human rights system, independence of the country’s
judicial power and activities of democratic institutions, through the
development of civil society, political parties and local democracy.
“The program becomes the most useful from the moment of the RA
Government’s approval of the schedule of legislative reforms, which
were necessitated by the referendum on constitutional reforms held
in 2005,” he said.
“We realize that this cooperation will help Armenia harmonize
its legislation with European standards and implement a policy of
reforms necessary for intensifying Armenia’s European integration,”
Ter-Stepanyan said.
