Maud de Byor-Boukikio, Deputy Secretary General of the Council
of Europe, had an impression from yesterday's meeting with senior
officials that there has been a considerable progress towards the
compliance with the proposals of the Parliamentary Assembly of the
Council of Europe, the Ago Group of the Council of Europe Committee
of Ministers and the European Commissioner for Human Rights, and
the implementation of the proposals which are currently on the table
follows the right procedures.

The proposals of the European structure became the main topic of
the discussions held in Yerevan with the participation of the CoE
Deputy Secretary General. In a briefing organized after the meeting
with Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandyan, she mentioned that the body
investigating the March 1 events should be independent and transparent;
the discussions and developments taking place in Yerevan in this
connection are in harmony with the approaches of the Council of Europe.
