Head of the Analytical Centre on Globalization and Regional Cooperation (ACGRC), political scientist Stepan Grigoryan offers to organize a forum on human rights in Belarus and invite prominent dissidents from that country.

The situation around the arrest of the Russian-Israeli blogger and the plans to extradite him to Azerbaijan are conditioned by the bilateral interests of Baku and Minsk, Stepan Grigoryan said in an interview with Public Radio of Armenia.

The political scientist considers that Armenia should respond to Alexander Lapshin’s issue with a propaganda campaign and by seeking support from human rights organizations.

Stepan Grigoryan is confident that Alexander Lukashenko does not want problems with those structures, as the relations with Europe are important to him now.
