LEVON TER-PETROSSIAN'S LETTER TO THORBJORN JAGLAND
Tert.am
11:34 ~U 17.03.10
First president of the Republic of Armenia, Levon Ter-Petrossian,
issued a letter yesterday to Council of Europe Secretary-General
Thorbjørn Jagland, in which he presents a list and timetable of
reforms prepared by the Armenian National Congress referring to the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Monitoring
Committee report on March 1, 2008 events following the country's
presidential election.
The letter, in part, reads:
"We are encouraged to see that Armenia's situation has not left
the Council's radar screen and that it remains committed to the
implementation of the resolutions adopted by the PACE following the
fraudulent presidential elections in 2008.
"As you probably know, the Monitoring Committee will be discussing the
timetable of reforms to be presented by the Armenian authorities in
response to the concerns raised both in the aforementioned resolutions
and the statement issued by the PACE co-rapporteurs on Armenia Mr.
Georges Colombier and Mr. John Prescott.
"With this letter we are presenting to you the list and a timetable of
reforms prepared by the Armenian National Congress, which we have also
presented to the Monitoring Committee and the co-rapporteurs. We hope
you will exercise the institutional capacity of your office, as well
as your personal influence, to make sure that it becomes a part of
the discussion during the 17 March session of the Monitoring Committee.
"The implementation of these reforms is a matter of urgent necessity,
because the existing flaws in our political and judicial systems is a
source of continued hardship and injustice, which ordinary Armenians
have to endure on a daily basis."
