    FIRST ANNUAL REPORT ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND BASIC FREEDOMS IN ARMENIA
    ISSUED

    YEREVAN, APRIL 1, ARMENPRESS: The office of the Armenian human
    rights defender said in a statement today that ombudswoman Larissa
    Alaverdian has submitted the 2004 annual report on human rights
    practices in Armenia to president Kocharian and parliament chairman
    Arthur Baghdasarian.

    The statement says the report contains a range of assessments,
    conclusions and proposals, based on applications the office received
    from citizens and on studies and observations the office conducted at
    its own initiative.

    It said much of the studies were prompted by high-profile instances
    of human rights violations, highlighted by non-governmental
    organizations, media, international organizations and government
    bodies.

    "Being the first such report it does not claim to reflect all
    possible manifestations of human rights violation instances in the
    country," the statement says, adding also that some of its assessments
    may not coincide with assessments of some segments of the population.
