Armenia’s Human Rights Defender (Ombudsperson) Kristine Grigoryan says all necessary conditions should be in place to guarantee the realization of the Artsakh Armenians’ rights.

"It is necessary to achieve solutions that ensure safe living conditions, the right to life, the right of children to education, the rights to social security, property, political rights, including the right to self-determination. These are the key priorities for the ombudsperson," Grigoryan told reporters in the parliament on Thursday, responding to a question about Artsakh’s status.

She states at this point human rights are not sufficiently protected in Artsakh, adding people in Artsakh have lost the sense of safety.

"In some cases, people were forced to leave their homes as a result of an aggressive policy [by Azerbaijan] and cannot exercise their right to property or education," she said.
