Members of the Armenian national Platform of Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum have issued a statement demanding to summon CSF ANP second session within December 7-10

"We, the undersigned, adhere to the statement, disseminated by the members of the Armenian National Platform (ANP) Initiative Group on October 21, 2010, and voice our disagreement regarding the decision of the EaP CSF Armenian Coordination Council of September 16, 2010 and the ones following it, particularly: to pass a non-confidence motion against the National Facilitator of CSF ANP, to change the terms for recruiting new members of the CSF ANP, to envisage the new elections in the ANP extraordinary session's agenda.

To overcome the given critical situation, we recommend:

• To form an organizing committee, involving the Armenian delegates of the EaP First and Second Civil Society Forums, which will be engaged in the organization of the works of the Armenian National Platform, including the upcoming regular meeting;

• To summon the Second Session of the CSF ANP within December 7-10, according to the ANP Regulations;

• To announce the recruitment of ANP new members after the ordinary session - according to the aforesaid Regulations.
