"The United States assisted Armenia in the protection of human rights
and the development democracy."
This is what U.S. Ambassador to Armenia candidate John Heffern
announced during hearings held at the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
Heffern mentioned that Armenia has made certain progress in that
sphere.
"I'm referring to the fact that those deprived of liberty during the
events following the 2008 presidential elections were released this
year," said Heffern.
Upon "A1+"'s request, member of the Armenian National Congress (HAK)
Andranik Kocharyan commented on Heffern's statement.
"Perhaps U.S. and European officials are supporting the democratization
of the Armenian state and the people, but the release of political
prisoners was the result of the people's struggle for the past three
years," said Mr. Kocharyan.
