"Armenia accounts for nearly 150 political prisoners", said first
president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan.

According to him he does not know any other country "CoE member,
which has political prisoners". "All my trustees and leaders of my
teams are arrested. Some of them are obliged to hide.

Moreover, the leaders of villages, where I won, are dismissed. The
dismissed are also the chairmen of electoral commissions, at whose
points I have won. Tens of people, who were civilly active, are
invited to the police. They are beaten, dismissed and their businesses
are ruined.

I will form a certain public opinion so that not to recognize these
authorities. For this purpose we will use all possible and legal
means", said Ter-Petrosyan.
