Yerevan/Mediamax/. A firm message of “zero tolerance” of ill-treatment
should be delivered to all policemen in Armenia.

The report published today by the Council of Europe’s Committee for the
Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
(CPT) reads this, Mediamax reports.

The report stresses that during its visit to Armenia in May 2010,
the CPT’s delegation heard a significant number of allegations of
police ill-treatment.

CPT experts recommend to develop a training on advanced crime
investigation methods and to reinforce safeguards against
ill-treatment. The report also comprises recommendations on placing
more emphasis on the structural independence of Special Investigation
Service of Armenia.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
