AGAINST XENOPHOBIA WITH MASS MEDIA
Today the two-day conference organized by the South Caucasian countries,
Russia and UNESCO with the theme «For the sake of tolerance, against
discrimination and xenophobia in the context of combat against international
terrorism» finished in Yerevan. At the end of the day a joint declaration
was adopted which was read by the RA ombudsman Larissa Alaverdyan.
In the declaration a special place was given to the Mass Media, as according
to the lawyers from different countries, the combat against encroachments
against national minorities or xenophobia between nations will be efficient
only with proper work of the MM.
Ombudsman Larissa Alaverdyan was surprised at the highlighting of the
international conference. Her working group had informed almost all the MM
in Armenia, but for the past two days 2-3 journalists were present at the
event.
«I think this is surprising for our guests too. I expected more interest
towards our conference. Our authorities take active participation in all the
international events. In this connection the passiveness of the journalists
was surprising as it ought to have been vice versa», commented Alaverdyan to
«A1+».
Let us also remind you that a non-official representative of Azerbaijan was
also present at the conference. He had been in friendly relations with
Armenian colleagues, and to day conducted the event with fluent Russian.
At the end of the day Azeri Jiansha Omarov apologized to the Ombudsman's
working group for refusing to visit Tsitsernakaberd with the other
participants of the conference «for a well-known reason».
