The Council of Europe 2010 Forum for the Future of Democracy completed
its work in Yerevan.
Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjørn Jagland and
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian delivered speeches at
the closing ceremony.
"The ties between Armenia and Europe are as old as the European
Continent. They date back to the times, when the enlightened sons
of our nation were contributing to the formation of the value system
called European values."
"Armenia will soon celebrate the 20th anniversary of independence. The
past 20 years have been a period of essential transformations for both
Armenia and Europe, in general, which we tried to pass hand in hand,"
Minister Nalbandian stated.
"Democracy is a living organism with national, regional and universal
peculiarities, which is constantly developing. Democracy should be
continuous, otherwise t will stop being democracy," Minister Nalbandian
said in his closing address.
