ANNIVERSARY PUBLICATION OF OSCE DOCUMENTS LAUNCHED IN YEREVAN
AZG DAILY #237
23-12-2010
The Armenian translation of three key OSCE documents prepared by the
OSCE Office in Yerevan together with the Armenian Foreign Ministry
was presented yesterday to the Armenian public.
The publication is to mark the 35-year anniversary of the "Helsinki
Final Act", the 20th anniversaries of the "Charter of Paris for a New
Europe" and the "Copenhagen Document", and the 10-year anniversary
of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, the OSCE official website reports.
Representatives of Armenia's state administration, National Assembly,
civil society, international community and media participated in
the presentation.
"The three OSCE documents that we have published are the OSCE's
"genetic code" as no single decision may be taken within the
organization that eclipses or violates the principles of these basic
documents," said Ambassador Sergey Kapinos, the Head of the OSCE
Office in Yerevan. "We hope this publication will contribute to a
better understanding of the OSCE principles and values among the
Armenian public".
"Armenia attaches great importance to full and fair implementation
of the OSCE/CSCE principles and commitments, as a prerequisite
for the regional security and stability. In the rapidly changing
international environment it is crucial for the OSCE participating
States to fully comply with their commitments and implement the OSCE
norms and principles", said Armenian Deputy Minister Arman Kirakossian.
The Armenian version of the anniversary documentary prepared by the
OSCE Secretariat on the history of the Helsinki Final Act was shown
during the event.
The Helsinki Final Act is a founding document of the OSCE, adopted
in 1975 to reduce tensions between the East and the West during the
Cold War. Its ten basic principles are guiding the conduct of the
participating States vis-a-vis their citizens, as well as between
each other.
The Charter of Paris for a New Europe signed in 1990 marked a turning
point in the history of the organization, officially proclaiming the
end of the Cold War, and starting the institutional transformation
of the then Conference for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
The Copenhagen Document of 1990 addresses the human dimension of the
OSCE security policy, including the democratic elections, minority
rights protection and the rule of law.
