France, Strasburg, 17 April /TrendNews corr A. Maharramli,
K. Zarbaliyeva/ Terry Davis, the Secretary-General of the Council of
Europe (CE), will analyze the issues regarding Armenia’s political
prisoners. He made this report to journalists at a press conference
in Strasburg on 16 April in response to a question ‘Is Armenia
experiencing the political prisoner problem?’
According to Davis, the opposition mood of any person towards the
Government does not provide the grounds to make him a political
prisoner. And it is wrong to identify each person arrested as a
‘political prisoner’.
Davis stated that clarification should first of all be made as to the
reason why each person was arrested. "Each case must be considered
individually. I must have authentic information before commenting on
whether they are political prisoners based on public statements.
