[21/10/2011]
Considerable progress has been made towards establishing the necessary institutions for an effective democracy, including ones at regional and local level, Armen Gevorgyan, Armenia's Deputy Prime Minister, has told the 21st session of the Congress. He spoke of the importance of co-operation with the various Council of Europe bodies, in particular the Congress, for the continued development of local self-government in his country. Armenia was now celebrating its 15th anniversary of local self-government, he said, and they were pleased to see that the system was now well established in the country. However, they still needed to strengthen local authorities' capacity to provide public services worthy of the name. This could only serve to increase public confidence in local government.
