Even revolting and direct revolutionary measures are included among
human rights, said first Ombudsman of the Republic of Armenia and
Heritage party MP Larisa Alaverdyan today.

She said one shouldn’t think that the revolt is organized by
"disorganized groups of hoodlums." Alaverdyan, referring to events
in Latin America which took place 150 years ago, said, "When the
public sees that it’s impossible to achieve a change in the current
leadership or change in public order through non-violent means,
they resort to more tough measures," said the MP.

Stating that there are more than 160 ways to achieve a change in the
country’s governing authorities, Alaverdyan said that Armenian civil
society hasn’t used even ten percent of the options available to them.
