ARMENIA’S INTEGRATION INTO EUROPEAN STRUCTURES PROGRESSING RATHER RAPIDLY, OSCE REPRESENTATIVE SUPPOSES

The process of Armenia’s integration into European structures is progressing rather rapidly, OSCE Yerevan Office head Vladimir Pryakhin said today. In his words, by having passed a range of important laws in 2003, Armenia made a stride on the way of democratization. At the same time, the diplomat noted, Armenia has to make much effort to become a full member of the European family. It should be reminded that in the course of yesterday’s special session the Parliament of Armenia passed a law on alternative military service, thus fulfilling another commitment to the Council of Europe.
