The Human Rights Defender of Armenia Arman Tatoyan joins the call of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation Tatyana Moskalkova who earlier called to resolve all disputes within the framework of existing legal mechanisms. Moskalkova’s call came following series of mass brawls between Azerbaijani and Armenia nationals in Moscow.
“We share the position of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russia Federation. The physical violence and incitement to ethnic hatred disrupts the basis of human rights and freedoms which may lead to mass violations and irreversible losses,” Tatoyan wrote on his Facebook page.
In Tatoyan’s words, the Human Rights Defender’s Office will be in contact with Russian colleagues to ensure the protection of the rights of our citizens.
