The human rights organizations of Armenia are a means of placement
for a contingent with norms and behavior introduced from outside. Not
a single human rights organization has ever advocated the rights of
the Armenians of Javakhk, Georgia.
In the meantime, the human rights organizations of the West interfere
with the problems of any foreign country, albeit selectively,
proceeding from certain political goals.
In fact, in Armenia there are no more or less independent human
rights organizations. These are rather branch offices and marionettes
of similar organizations abroad. At the same time, Armenia and the
Caucasian region need human rights organizations and their activities.
This could be an important resource of the policy of Armenia, enabling
to conduct an active regional policy.
There are a number of problems of discrimination and duress against
ethnic minorities in the Caucasus, first of all in Azerbaijan. The
West, Russia and Iran consistently get interested in the state of the
Talysh, Lezgi, Avar peoples and other ethnicities in Azerbaijan. The
existence of human rights organizations in Armenia dealing with their
issues would allow them to participate directly in international
discussions and protection of rights of those ethnicities.
However, the donors and sponsors of the Armenian human rights
organizations will hardly allow them to deal with these problems. It
is time to set up independent human rights organizations in Armenia
who would deal with the problems of ethnic groups in Azerbaijan,
Georgia and Russia, as well as other countries.
