    TIGRAN TOROSYAN: REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES TAKE PLACE IN ARMENIA'S HUMAN RIGHTS SPHERE

    ARKA News Agency, Armenia
    Dec 12 2006

    YEREVAN, December 12. /ARKA/. Revolutionary changes have taken place
    in Armenia's human rights sphere over the last few years, Speaker of
    the RA Parliament Tigran Torosyan stated at the seminar "Human rights
    and Armenian reality".

    He pointed out that Armenia's citizens have the right to apply to the
    European Court of Human Rights. "Constitutional amendments adopted
    a year ago allowed citizens to apply to the Constitution Court to
    defend their rights," he said.

    Torosyan pointed that the RA Ombudsman has all powers to "carry out
    this important and honorable mission."

    In his turn, RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan stressed that human
    rights are considered a fundamental value all over the world and
    are the guidelines of the activities of any organizations and any
    society. "From this point of view we can say that Armenia, which
    is on the way of democratization, has no alternative but ensure and
    protect the rights of all its citizens," he said.

    The seminar was held under the motto "Poverty reduction". The seminar
    was organized by the RA Ombudsman's office in cooperation with the
    UN and OSCE offices in Armenia, and the British Council.
