‘We trust Armenian democracy,’ says Euronest PA Co-President

The Co-President of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly, Sergey Lagodinsky, has praised the democratic path adopted by Armenia and emphasized that Euronest trusts the people and authorities of Armenia. 

He made the remarks at the 12th Ordinary Session of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly in Yerevan. 

“Our Armenian hosts, despite the challenges related to the peace process and the flow of refugees, carried out their task in the most professional manner by welcoming us. You are showing courage, just like your Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who encourages peace and democracy,” Sergey Lagodinsky said.

He emphasized that democracy is an ongoing process, in which criticism and open dialogue are integral parts.

“Yes, no democracy is perfect. The European Union is not perfect either. We can criticize certain aspects of your democracy, just as you can criticize ours, but one thing is clear: we trust your democracy, we trust your country, and we trust your government,' the Co-President of the Euronest PA said.
