RA FIRST PRESIDENT MET WITH INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
Tert.am
On April 4, first president of the Republic of Armenia Levon
Ter-Petrossian met with International Federation for Human Rights
(FIDH) President Souhayr Belhassen.
According to a press release issued by the Armenian National Congress
(HAK), during the meeting, Ter-Petrossian presented the inconsolable
state of democracy and human rights in Armenia, the circumstance
of transforming the total dependence of the justice system and the
punitive tool of the governing authorities, and, in particular,
the existence of political prisoners.
The Republic of Armenia’s first president, and HAK leader, also noted
that "if the upcoming FIDH Congress doesn’t express a principled
approach in these issues, that, on one hand, will give the public
cause for deep disappointment, while, on the other hand, will be a
big present for Armenia’s usurpatory leadership, encouraging them to
further strengthen political oppression and persecution."
Representatives of HAK’s central headquarters Levon Zurabyan and
Avetis Avagyan also participated in the meeting.
