The PACE resolutions on Armenia contain an address to the Armenian
opposition and neither the CE Commissioner for Human Rights nor PACE
support either of the parties to the internal political confrontation
in Armenia, CE Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg said
during a press-conference in Yerevan today.
Hammarberg shows impartial position on the internal political struggle
in Armenia. His major concern is that human rights should be guaranteed
even in such situations. As a political body, PACE has urged the
government and the opposition of Armenia to try to establish dialogue.
Hammarberg hopes that the work of the interim parliamentary commission
for investigation of the Mar 1-2 events will be transparent and
objective.
