    Today 3-day experimental seminar started organized by the ministry
    of Justice and EC.

    According to Gevorg Danielyan, the minister of Justice, this
    arrangements will allow the experts, who has long-term experience in
    our country`s criminal executive system, to approach and understand
    present problems more exactly and objectively. A particular problem
    was people's healthcare in the criminal executive establishments and
    the European experts introduced the standards of EC.

    Emphasizing prison management and the modernity of the problem of
    the prisoner`s med help the minister informed the participants that
    before the seminar he had talked with the European experts and said
    that there was a need to go the works over again. Gevorg Danielyan
    said:' When we speak about med help and med service in criminal
    executive establishments, it is not only medical problem and isn`t
    limited with certain process of legal regulation, it is rather deep
    problem and supposes the review of the worldview.

    The minister brought an example that if in criminal executive
    establishments one went on hunger-strike there used to be unequivocal
    approach as it was considered regime was broken and the one was placed
    under the liability now another approach is adopted.

    'Not encouraging this phenomenon, nevertheless we don`t find it a
    reason to place the people under the liability. Those people should
    be placed under it who organize and kindle hunger-strike, which is
    the result of the people`s poor health'. -informed the minister.

    Julieta Kassa, the manager of the department of the developing human
    rights, had a report during the seminar who returned the results of the
    work done in Armenia in 2005-2006 and notified that many arrangements
    have been organized during this period in order to solve problems in
    the criminal executive system.

    During the next 2 days of the seminar besides these problems, other
    ones like prisoners` distribution and disposition, the legal aid for
    them, the connection with the external world, the planning of their
    verdicts, as well as problems connected with juvenile offenders will
