The Armenian Presidency of the Council of Europe gifted a stained-glass
window called "The Power of Unity" to PACE, which will embellish
the upper facade of the Assembly Chamber. The official ceremony in
Strasbourg was attended by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
President Sargsyan thanked talented artist Arev Petrosyan for the
impressive work. Also, he expressed gratitude to all those, who made
the installation of the stained-glass window possible.
"About 13 years ago - on January 25, 2001 - Armenia became a full
member of the Council of Europe, thus joining the large European
family. This shrine of democracy became home to us, Armenians, as
for the rest of 800 mln Europeans," the President said.
"In 2001 Armenia was 10 years-old, today it's 22. "Growing up" in
this family for over twenty years, Armenia has created solid bases
and tools for democracy, protection of human rights and rule of law,"
President Sargsyan added.
"Please, accept this stained-glass window as a modest contribution
to the construction of our common house. Peoples represented in the
Council of Europe are different with their history and past, but united
around common universal values. They have created these values, paving
the way for a common future. This work symbolizes our common strength
in its unity and harmonious diversity," the Armenian President said.

Upon the conclusion of the visit, President Serzh Sargsyan attended the
ceremony of signing of the Protocol 16 to the European Convention on
Human Rights. Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian signed the protocol
on behalf of Armenia.
