The US Department of State has released Country Reports on Human
Rights Practices for 2012.
The Armenian National Committee of America welcome progress by the
Administration - insufficient but still encouraging - confirming that
the final status of Nagorno Karabakh remains the subject of OSCE
talks.
Unfortunately, this progress, made despite aggressive lobbying by
Baku, is packaged as part of a broader report that includes a number
of serious shortcomings, among them:
- The report ignores President Aliyev's pardon of unrepentant Armenian
hating axe-murderer Ramil Safarov.
- The report ignores again (for the 8th year in a row) Azerbaijan's
desecration of the Armenian cemetery in Djulfa.
- The report ignores anti-Armenian discrimination in Azerbaijan
despite an official US travel warning to ethnic Armenians.
- The report ignores President Aliyev's racist rant that all the
Armenians of the world are enemies of Azerbaijan.
In the section devoted to Armenia the report says `the most
significant human rights problems during the year were limitations on
the right of citizens to change their government, corruption and lack
of transparency in government, and the limited independence of the
judiciary.'
