Mirzoyan congratulated Cartabia on her election as the President of the Venice Commission.
During the meeting, the parties discussed ensuring the rule of law, democratic reforms, and priorities for the protection of human rights.
The Minister emphasized that the Commission’s contribution regarding various legal initiatives is important for Armenia.
