We render assistance to all of three South Caucasus states. Germany is interested in Armenia, which has chosen the right way towards formation of democratic society and human rights protection. Observance of these principles is included in the list of commitments Armenia undertook to the Council of Europe. We watch the process of fulfillment of commitments, which determines further cooperation of your country with European structures," she said. "The parliamentary elections have demonstrated progress and largely met the OSCE and CoE standards. There were also violations but we are hopeful they will not be repeated during the presidential election in 2008. Armenia needs fair elections and the republic should get prepared," she said. ![]() ![]() Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult.
