ARFD MEMBER CONCERNED OVER THE FACT COUNCIL OF EUROPE IS INDIFFERENCE TO PROBLEM OF PROTECTION OF ARTSAKH PEOPLE'S ELEMENTARY RIGHTS
Wednesday, June 18, 09:12
Head of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Faction Armen Rustamyan has told the
media about some details of his meeting with PACE Co-Rapporteurs
Axel Fischer and Alan Meale. Rustamyan says that they discussed
the non-coalition parliamentary forces' demands addressed to the
Government, as well as the constitutional reforms initiated by the
authorities.
"We have pointed out that no reform will be effective without real
changes in the political system. We have substantiated the need
to switch to the parliamentary regime. We have also expressed our
indignation at the fact that the Council of Europe does not support
our demand, i.e. publishing the lists of the citizens who have already
voted", he says.
Rustamyan adds that the meeting also covered issues related to
Armenia's decision to join the Eurasian Economic Union, which he says
is explained by the need to ensure Armenia's security. "We have also
expressed our concern over the fact that the Council of Europe is
indifferent to protection of the elementary rights of Artsakh people.
First and foremost, the matter concerns the problem of communication.
The people visiting Artsakh are inevitably included in Baku's black
list. The international community should clearly respond to this
policy of Azerbaijan", says Rustamyan.
The meeting did not cover the tragic March 2008 developments in
Yerevan. The co-rapporteurs discussed the problem of political
prisoners in Armenia. In this context, the PACE representatives said
that according to their information, there are 15 political prisoners
in Armenia.
