The human rights situation in Armenia was discussed at the second
round of the EU-Armenia dialogue on Human Rights on 7 December 2010.
According to a European Council press release, issues discussed
included national human rights legislation, the judicial system,
freedom of association and assembly, freedom of expression and the
media, elections, freedom of religion, the rights of prisoners and
the fight against torture and cruel and degrading treatment.
Cooperation between Armenia and EU in international fora, particularly
within the United Nations, OSCE, and Council of Europe for the
promotion of human rights, was also examined.
The meeting was held in an open, frank and constructive atmosphere,
the press release said. It was a follow-up to last year's Human
Rights Dialogue.
Earlier, in a press release issued after the EU Armenia Cooperation
Council, the EU had "welcomed the establishment of a dedicated
human rights dialogue between the EU and Armenia, underlining that
fundamental freedoms, as well as freedom of expression and freedom
of the media, are essential elements in the bilateral relationship."
