ArmInfo. In the human rights sector Armenia has lots of problems yet
and can hardly solve all of them at once. So, here we follow the
"everything is comparative" principle, President of Armenia Serzh
Sargsyan said while meeting with President of FIDH Souyer Belassen
today.

The press service of the President quotes him as saying: "If today
we have more such problems than we had a few years ago, it means that
the work of our government needs to be revised. If there is progress,
it means that we are working in the right direction."

Sargsyan highly appreciated the support of FIDH and welcomed its
initiative to hold a forum in Armenia.

Belassen thanked Sargsyan for Armenia’s efforts to organize the forum
on a proper level. She said that it is a historic event. Yerevan
has turned into human rights capital and this is a big advantage
for Armenia.

The forum "Justice: New Challenges – the Right to an Effective
Remedy before an Independent Tribunal" has been organized by FIDH in
cooperation with Civil Society Institute with a view to discuss and
develop mechanisms for legal protections of offence victims struggling
for justice. NGOs from all over the world are taking part in the forum.
