National Assembly
June 15 2009
Armenia
On June 15 President of the National Assembly Mr. Hovik Abrahamyan
received the members of the board of Memorial Human Rights,
Historical-Educational and Charitable Society. Chairman of the NA
Standing Committee on Protection of Human Rights and Public Affairs,
deputies Mrs. Goharik Yenokyan and Mr. Viktor Dallakyan participated
in the meeting.
Welcoming the guests the President of the Armenian Parliament noted
that on June 14 was the 60th anniversary of sending thousands
of repressed Armenian families into exile to Altay by Stalin
regime in 1949. He noted that from 1955 the USSR had tried to
restore their rights, and in 1994 the newly independent Armenia
passed a law, by which it tried to provide some privileges to the
repressed. Mr. H. Abrahamyan told his guests that he had received their
letter and was aware of the situation created around the privileges
envisaged for the repressed. He highlighted the legislative initiative
of NA deputies Mr. Viktor Dallakyan, Mrs. Goharik Yenokyan and
Mr. Vardan Bostanjyan, which had already been sent to the Government
and NA relevant standing committee.
During free discussion the participants expressed their
viewpoints around the problems of the protection of rights of the
repressed. Mr. Abrahamyan proposed to continue the discussion of this
problem, involving authorized representatives of the government and
the repressed. He stressed that it will be possible to create a draft
law, complying with the interests of the public and the repressed
through dialogue.
