NATIONAL UNITY PARTY EXPECTS CE ASSISTANCE IN PROTECTION OF HUMAN
RIGHTS IN ARMENIA
YEREVAN, April 6 ./ARKA/. National Unity Party expects CE assistance
in protection of human rights in Armenia, says the letter sent to the
Embassies of US, Russia and European countries. The letter says that
Yerevan City Administration was warned ahead considering conducted
meeting with electors. `Prime Minister assured in prevention of
provocations and preservation of public order, however all roads in
town were closed, which prevented participation of regions’ citizens
in the meeting and police did nothing during attacks on journalists’,
the Leader of the Party Artashes Geghamian stated today. In
accordance with that we expect assistance from CE, Russia and USA in
fulfillment of statement of the convention on human rights
protection, Geghamian concluded.
The meeting of Artashes Geghamyan with people on April 5 was fraught
with serious consequences for the operators and reporters. Unknown
provocateurs broke the cameras of Kentron TV Company, Hai TV, and
PTA. The tape recorder of Shant TV Company’s operator was taken away.
