A few days ago the US Department of State issued its annual Human
Rights Report, which criticizes the state of human rights protection
in Armenia.
Asked by Panarmenian.net to comment on the report, Head of Media
Relations Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tigran Balayan
stated:
"The report includes some justified criticism, but it’s also apparent
that conclusions are based on unilateral sources. It does not take
into consideration the comparable dynamics of development of processes
and the positive trends registered.
W have stated many times that irrespective of the reports and their
content, the Armenian authorities are resolute to continue the
process of democratic reforms, since it is the reasonable choice of
our people."
