`The most part of the last century we lived under a regime, which
existed due to the absence of human rights. Before it our the first
genocide of the 20th century befell our people, since the end of the
century will have been struggling for establishing the rights of the
Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh’, Armenian FM Vardan Oskanyan stated
when delivering a speech at the 61-th session of the UN Commission on
Human Rights.

He also stated that the protection and preservation of human rights in
Armenia is not an abstract principle. `It is the difference betweenthe
existence and elimination.’
