    Human rights defenders in Armenia do not feel protected; they can be
    subjected to violence at any time, says Mikael Danielyan, Chairman
    of Armenian Helsinki Association.

    The number of encroachments upon human rights defenders has not
    shown a decline over the past years. There has been no progress in
    this regard," Mr Danielyan said after a consultation focusing on the
    situation of human rights defenders in Armenia.

    "The reason is the atmosphere created by the authorities," said the
    human rights defender. "To come out of the situation we should unseat
    the authorities. Unless we have a liberal and democratic government
    we cannot talk about these issues."

    With regard to the upcoming presidential vote, Mikael Danielyan said,
    "It is nothing but a show. You can but a ticket, sit in the front
    rows and follow the farce. It will be interesting," he said.
