    RELEASE OF THE 18 JAILED PERSONS THE PRIMARY TASK OF THE CONGRESS

    Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan stated
    today that the release of the majority of persons jailed in relation to
    the events in Yerevan on March 1, 2008 was the result of the consistent
    struggle of the Armenian National Congress and its cooperation with
    the Council of Europe.

    According to him, the release of the rest of the 18 arrested persons
    is the primary task of the Congress.

    The Armenian National Congress connects the decision on amnesty only
    with the requirements of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
    of Europe and considers that the authorities set free as many people
    as necessary to avoid sanctions.

    Turning to the forth resolution on Armenia adopted by the Parliamentary
    Assembly, the representative of the Congress said he sees both positive
    and negative formulations in the document.

    "The most important is that PACE does not consider the issue to
    be closed. It will pursue that other jailed persons are set free,"
    Levon Zurabyan said.
