The Secretary General of the Council of Europe Terry Davis finds that
the revised Constitution of Armenia "opens a new era in key areas
of political life of Armenia. It will help the country to progress
on its path towards modern democracy." What progress can there be
without a test? "2007 will see another crucial test for democracy in
Armenia. The forthcoming legislative elections should be free and fair
in order to bring the necessary legitimacy to the National Assembly."
Jean Louis Laurent, Political Director of the Council of Europe,
who arrived in Yerevan to participate in the conference "Council of
Europe and Armenia: 5 Years of Membership", told how an Armenian
official regretted that there is not a decision of the Strasbourg
Court of Human Rights on Armenia yet, adding that such a decision
would become a milestone on the path towards democratic reforms. He
stated, however, that there is no need to wait for court rulings,
and preventive measures can be taken.
