Council of Europe, Edward Nalbandian
"Presidency of the Committee of Ministers is a challenge to any
member country of the Council of Europe, as the European Continent
faces a number of problems today, which can create difficulties in
the protection of our fundamental values," Armenian Foreign Minister,
Chairman of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe Edward
Nalbandian said at the pan-European conference on "European standards
of the rule of law and limits of the authorities' discretion in the
member states of the Council of Europe."
The Minister added that the chairmanship is also a great
responsibility, as the success of the organization depends not only
on the efforts of every member of the Council of Europe, but also a
proper guidance of those efforts.
"The priorities of the Armenian chairmanship of the CoE Committee
of Ministers are based on three pillars of the organization with
special emphasis on most urgent issues of the time, which require
adequate reaction. Among them I would note the fight against racism and
xenophobia, promotion of inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue,
reinforcement of the European standards of human rights and rule of
law, encouragement of democratic societies," Minister Nalbandian said.
"The Armenian chairmanship attaches great importance to all the
efforts targeted at raising the effectiveness of the European Court
of Human Rights, implementation of reforms in the Council of Europe,
reinforcement of the organization's role in the general European
architecture, development of dialogue with partner organizations and
neighboring regions," Edward Nalbandian said.
