The Council of Europe is ready to do its best to assist the Government
of Armenia in holding reforms, Head of Ago Group, Germany's Permanent
Representative to the Council of Europe Roland Wegener stated at
a news conference in Yerevan. In his words, it will be necessary
to spend two years to make the country's legislation comply with
the reformed Constitution. "This job is hard, however compulsory. We
discussed the matter with Armenian President Robert Kocharian and the
Minister of Justice David Harutyunyan. Changes should be made in the
judicial legislation, Law on Police, Criminal and Civil Codes, Law
on the City of Yerevan. However, the most important task is changes
in the Electoral Code, without which democratic elections in the
parliament in 2007 will not be possible," Wegener said.
