Thorbjørn Jagland: EC consensus in Armenia also depends on opposition

YEREVAN, APRIL 20, ARMENPRESS. Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjørn Jagland attaches importance to the formation of a consensus around the Electoral Code in Armenia and says that it also depends on the opposition. During the PACE plenary session, while answering to ANC faction head Levon Zurabyan’s question, Jagland noted that it is extremely important to reach consensus on such fundamental issues as the Electoral Code.

“We, of course have urged the Armenian government to reach consensus, but it also depends on the opposition. We said that we are willing to support the two sides, so that the government and the opposition have fair opportunities for competing for power”, “Armenpress” reports Jagland saying.
