The headquarters of the [opposition] Armenian National Congress issued
a statement yesterday [11 November] in which it said that the Evrokanch
[Eurocall] non-governmental organization had started operating and
that its honourable chairman is the first Armenian president and
leader of the Armenian National Congress, Levon Ter-Petrosyan. One of
Evrokanch’s priority programmes is to assist the families of political
prisoners and of persons persecuted for political reasons.
[Passage omitted: a bank account has been set up for charity transfers
to assist these families; details of the bank account]
"We call upon all citizens to make contributions to the abovementioned
bank account, the sum accumulated on it will be spent on providing
social and legal aid to the families of political prisoners and
persons persecuted for political reasons, as well as on appealing
illegal verdicts delivered on them in the European Court of Human
Rights. Your active participation will make it possible not only
to alleviate the burden of the families of political prisoners and
persons persecuted for political reasons, but also to consistently
achieve justice and release members of the [opposition] Pan-National
Movement," the statement says.
