The wives of political prisoners were not aware that the Armenian
Office of Committee of Europe, already ten days, is relocated from
David Anhaxt Street to Zarubyan Street. About this change they were
told by the neighboring security guard of the French University.
The wife of the former Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Arzumanyan,
Melissa Brown said that they were not informed about that change
in purpose, in order not to approach the Office today. Earlier the
participants of the action had informed the Office about their support
action for today.
"This is very strange, anyway, I do have the email address of the
Office and I will send our letter by email, or I will find the new
building and turn in the letter in person. When any store is relocated
they put the new address on the doors, this is very strange situation",
assures Mrs. Brown.
Their letter was addressed to the Council of Europe Commissioner
for Human Rights, Thomas Hammerberg, in which is noted that the
Armenian authorities do not initiate any actions in revelation of
the culprit of events on March 1st, moreover they violently make
obstacles for demonstrators to express their complaints on behalf of
their politically imprisoned relatives and they act the same against
the leaders of the Opposition.
In the letter they exposed the fact about the recent event in North
Avenue, and mention that our country turns into a police force country,
our authorities talk beautifully, but they do not make step ahead to
reveal what happened on March 1st. "Instead they judge our husbands,
and imitate that if our husbands are responsible, that it was their
guilt in what happened on March 1st", added Brown.
By the wives of political prisoners, they trust Hammerberg, as if he
is a wise and kind person, and therefore they encourage the Monitoring
Committee of the Council of the European Union, to take seriously his
report about the performance by Armenia the treaties of the Council
of the European Union.
By the way, with this action was in collaboration the chief commander
of Special Division of Shushi, Jirair Sefilyan. He mentioned that
they have great expectations that Hammerberg will call the things by
their names. "We will see, if he will he do that. The problem is that
we are going to make sure not only this regime, but the world that
our nation is not going to accept these illegalities. Our struggle
is going to be continuously", added he.
