On 11 December 2014, the European Union and Armenia held the sixth
round of human rights dialogue in Brussels.
The Armenian delegation was headed by Garen Nazarian, Deputy Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and included among other officials, the Deputy
Minister of Justice Mr. Arman Tatoyan.
The EU Delegation was headed by Mr. Silvio Gonzato, Director, EEAS,
Human Rights and Democracy, European External Action Service and Mrs.
Elisabeth Tison, Head of Division.
The dialogue was held in an open and constructive atmosphere, with an
exchange on a wide range of issues of mutual interest and concern,
as well as discussions on possibilities for concrete cooperation
in the field of human rights within international organisations,
in particular at the UN, the OSCE and the Council of Europe.
The dialogue allowed for an exchange of views on the human rights
situation both in Armenia and in the EU. In particular, the talks were
focused on: the national framework for the protection of human rights,
the reform of the judiciary, elections and electoral framework, freedom
of expression and information, freedom of assembly and association,
the functioning of civil society, anti-discrimination policy, fight
against torture and freedom of religion and belief.
The first Armenia-EU human rights dialogue was established in
December 2009.
The meetings are convened once a year, alternatively in Yerevan
and Brussels.
