Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan Vladimir Pryakhin welcomed the resumption of contacts between the authorities and the opposition of Armenia.

He also called the Armenian authorities to reconsider the cases of the persons, arrested in the course of the recent meetings, and to continue efforts to reform the Code on Administrative Offences.
