June 27, 2013 | 16:49
Speaker of the Armenian parliament Hovik Abrahamyan met with the
President of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) Dean Spielmann.
Despite the differences, member states of the Council of Europe share
common European values, while ECtHR is a pillar protecting the values,
Abrahamyan said.
He underscored role of the ECtHR in protection of human rights of 47
member states. Abrahamyan stated that during its presidency Armenia
will continue the ECHR's efforts aimed at enhancing implementation
of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The official noted that Armenia will continue to support all the
reforms envisaged by the Interlaken and the Brighton Declaration.
Speaking about the Safarov case considered by the Court, Hovik
Abrahamyan said it is not only the problem of Armenia but the entire
international community.
"Armenia expects the European Court will consider the issue from
purely legal viewpoint and will give an adequate legal assessment,
which will be of considerable importance for prevention of such
unacceptable acts," he said.
In his turn, Dean Spielmann informed of his upcoming visit to Armenia
to participate in an international conference. He hailed the work of
four Armenian lawyers in the European Court, hoping that their number
will grow.
Commenting on the Safarov case, Spielmann noted that the European
Court has experience of solving sensitive cases and will give a
legal assessment.
