    ARMENIAN FM CALLS FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF KARABAGH'S RIGHT TO
    SELF-DETERMINATION

    GENEVA, MARCH 17, ARMENPRESS: Addressing the 60-th session of the
    UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva on March 16, Armenian foreign
    affairs minister Vartan Oskanian described the brutal murder of an
    Armenian officer in Budapest by an Azeri classmate as "an example of
    ethnic enmity."
    Armenian foreign affairs ministry said that the minister
    reiterated Armenia's commitment to respect of human rights and
    briefed the session on what has been achieved in Armenia to this end
    in the last ten years, singling out, particularly, the abolition of
    death penalty, appointment of the first ever ombudsman and
    legislative reforms.
    Oskanian explained that the existing discontents in the region are
    the direct outcome of abuse of human rights and called on the
    international community to acknowledge the right of Nagorno Karabagh
    population to self-determination.
    During a one-day visit to Geneva Oskanian met with Irish foreign
    minister Bryan Kowen to discuss the Wider Europe project. He also had
    meetings with his Swiss, Estonian and Luxembourg counterparts and
    visited also the deputy UN Secretary General, the chief director of
    the UN Geneva office Sergey Orjonikidze.
