Armenia will submit its program on Council of Europe presidency on May 16, Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said.

As he told a joint press conference with his Lithuanian counterpart Linas Linkevičius, the program will be specified next week, during Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland’s visit to Yerevan.

“We will hold a joint discussion with Mr Jagland on the priorities of the presidency,” Minister Nalbandian said, adding that Armenia will participate in a number of Strasburg-hosted events, including a cultural program.

He further noted Armenian President’s visit to Strasburg as another important event.
