Yerevan, December 28. ArmInfo. RA Parliament speaker, Tigran Torossyan,
has sent today a message of congratulation to the Armenian people
saying, in particular: "The year 2006 has become a year of development
of democracy and protection of human rights and freedoms".

negotiation process on the Karabakh conflict settlement. "The principle
of peoples’ right for self-determination, after it was fixed in the

reflected in the documents of other European structures, as well as in
the approaches of OSCE MG cochairmen", the message says. T. Torossyan
has also expressed hope that the results of economic growth in 2007
will affect the social level of the Republic’s citizens, as well as
the financing of spheres of science, education and culture.
