/PanARMENIAN.Net/ December 21 Armenia’s permanent representative in
the Council of Europe Christian Ter-Stepanian signed the additional
protocol to the CoE Convention on Transfer of Sentenced Persons. The
protocol provides for principal mechanisms of transfer of sentenced
persons from the state that passed the verdict to the native state
as well as service of sentence in the homeland.

The Convention has been valid in Armenia since 2001 and its purpose
is to contribute to social integration of convicted via serving the
sentence in the homeland. It allows avoiding grave consequences
of imprisonment in a foreign state (difficulties with the language,
meetings with family members, etc.), reports the RA MFA press office.

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
