ArmInfo. Council of Europe Secretary General Terry Davis is concerned
about today's developments in Yerevan.
The press service of the CE reports David to say: "I am very concerned
about reports of injuries during the security forces operation to
disperse protesters in Yerevan this morning. If these reports are
confirmed, all allegations of excessive force should be properly
investigated. It is also vital to prevent any further violence,"
"I am also alarmed by the reports that the runner-up in the recent
presidential elections, former President Lev Ter-Petrossian, has been
put under house arrest. If this is true, he should be immediately
released. If he is accused of committing a crime, he should be properly
charged and prosecuted in a court of law like anyone else. In a
democracy you cannot arbitrarily detain political opponents."
