/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "To some extent I agree with the assessments made
in the U.S. State Department's report on the situation with human
rights in Armenia, but in general the report is incomplete," Eduard
Sharmazanov , Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group
secretary told journalists at the National Assembly of Armenia.
According Sharmazanov, there are problems with human rights, corruption
and democracy in Armenia, like in any other country, this is not
news. " The report is incomplete since it does not cover all the
facts reflecting the development of democracy and human rights in
Armenia. A good example of that omission is the amnesty declared by
the Armenian president, establishment of the Public Council and the
ongoing reforms in the police system," he said.
"The United States must first monitor the activities of their country
in the world, and then write reports about other countries," Gagik
Tsarukyan, head of the Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group said.
On 12 March 2010 the U.S. State Department issued a report on the
development of human rights in the world. The reports criticized the
Armenian authorities for exerting pressure on the media and human
rights non-compliance.
