international image, the Council of Europe Secretary General said.
"Laws preventing citizens from expressing discontent with the
government and President operate in Armenia," Mr Terry Davis

opposite opinions. But I by no means support violence," he said,
adding he heard about political prisoners in Armenia.
"I do not have exact information on the issue yet but I have a source
that will furnish the essential information within a week," Mr Davis
said, ARMENIA Today.
The events of March 1 resulted in 10 people killed and 200 injured.
Some 100 oppositionists were detained, including members of parliament.
