OSCE READY FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE TO ARMENIA’S DEMOCRATIZATION

ARKA News Agency, Armenia

YEREVAN, December 12. /ARKA/. The OSCE is ready to render further
assistance to the development of democracy and civil society in
Armenia as well as to the implantation of the OSCE’s principles and
values in the country, Head of the OSCE office in Armenia Vladimir
Pryakhin stated at the seminar "Human rights and Armenian reality"
He pointed out that in the 2006 the OSCE has rendered assistance to
the RA Ombudsman and has been involved in reforming the country’s
judicial system and dealing with gender problems in the country.

"Our office is closely cooperating with the Armenian Embassy and with
representatives of civil society," he said.

In this context, Pryakhin stressed that human rights protection is
not the responsibility of an individual government or public structure.

"This requires the entire public’s hard work, which will contribute to
the issue being in the center of the authorities’ constant attention,"
he said.

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
