YEREVAN. – Council of Europe (CoE) Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland’s official visit to Armenia will  take place in the latter half of this month, Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian informed Thursday, during his joint news conference with his Lithuanian counterpart, Linas Linkevičius.

In the minister’s words, during the CoE chief’s visit, the priorities and the platform of Armenia’s CoE Chairmanship will be finalized, and it will be introduced in Strasbourg, France.

Along the lines of Armenia’s chairmanship, several events are planned at the level of parliaments and FMs. A meeting of CoE mayors is envisioned, too. 

“We want to make use of this opportunity by holding several cultural events in Strasbourg,” Nalbandian said.

The Armenian President’s visit to Strasbourg likewise will be one of the major events in this respect.
