The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Hovik Abrahamyan, issued a
congratulatory message on Human Rights Day. The message states:
"In 1948 the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights and ever since 1950 December 10th has been celebrated
as Human Rights Days.
Both the world and people have changed over the past 60 years,
however, the human rights and freedoms formed in the times of Greek
philosophers, have mostly stayed unchanged. The notion formed in
France 219 years ago, in 1789, has acquired a new and more complete
meaning today, preserving the most essential, the idea that from the
very birth people are bestowed with basic rights, which should be
guaranteed by the state.
After gaining independence the Constitution of the Republic of
Armenia also consolidated the human rights and freedoms. After the
constitutional reforms the Institute of the Human Rights Defender was
established in Armenia, and in a short while the National Assembly
appointed a Human Rights Defender whose supreme duty is to defend
human rights and freedoms in Armenia.
After the constitutional reforms the Standing Committee on Defense
of Human Rights and Public Issues was established at the National
Assembly, having the task to provide support and information to
the citizens in the sphere of defense of human and citizens' rights
and freedoms.
Offering my congratulations on Human Rights Day, I want to ensure
that the laws and agreements targeted at the defense of human rights
and freedoms will remain in the focus of attention of the National
Assembly. Special attention will be paid to their accomplishment,
since no matter how ideal the laws are, it's possible to improve the
life with correct implementation of laws."
