Following his 3 January talks in Baku, Indulis Berzins flew on 4 January to Yerevan via Tbilisi, where he met during a brief stopover with his Georgian counterpart Irakli Menagharishvili. Menagharishvili expressed his support for the simultaneous admission of Armenia and Azerbaijan to full membership of the Council of Europe, of whose Ministers Council Berzins is chairman. Menagharishvili added that Georgia has done all in its power to facilitate that process. But Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Markarian told Berzins later on 4 January in Yerevan that it would be incomprehensible for the Armenian leadership and people if the country's admission to full Council of Europe membership were made contingent on developments in another country, according to ITAR-TASS.
Azerbaijan's acceptance into full membership is widely believed to be contingent on whether the 7 January repeat parliamentary elections in 11 constituencies are perceived as fair and democratic.
