The Armenian parliamentarians voiced about the anti-Armenian campaign by Azerbaijan, and in that context indicated the consequences, which could be dangerous for the stable development of the region. Ruben Rubinyan has noted that though by November 9 tripartite statement the military actions have stopped, nevertheless the situation continues remaining unstable. It is because of Azerbaijan’s non-fulfilment of commitments assumed by the stamen, aspirations towards the sovereign territories of Armenia and the new threat of using force.

The democratic reforms going on in different directions in Armenia were touched upon. Speaking about the ongoing reforms in judicial-legal system, the CoE representatives expressed readiness to support the improvement of the independent judicial system in Armenia.
