ArmInfo. ‘Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has got a carte blanche
from the world community to harden repressions against the opposition’,
– representative of Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan told
journalists at Hayatsk club today.
He also added this happened because in the conditions of paralysis of
the OSCE MG as a result of disagreements between the USA and Russia
because of the last events in South Ossetia, Armenian president
together with his Turkish counterpart is trying to negotiate on the
Karabakh conflict settlement and to normalize the Armenian-Turkish
relations. ‘Another reason of hardening of the authorities’ and police
policy towards the opposition is again leading to the geo-political
factor. In particular, if before the Russian-Georgian war mass
violation of human rights and existence of political prisoners was in
the centre of attention of the Council of Europe, at present these
problems are not paid so much attention. The carte blanche got by
Serzh Sargsyan to destroy the opposition is not a tragedy, but it
makes us to correct our further strategy’, – Zurabyan said.
