Armenian ombudsman Larisa Alaverdyan is not taking part in the third
international conference of European and CIS ombudsmen on 29-30
November in Baku.

By the last day Larisa Alaverdyan had still not received an invitation
to take part in the conference, although the Armenian ombudsman was
ready to take part in the conference’s work, the Armenian ombudsman’s
office told Arminfo. The theme of the international conference is the
role of civil society and education in the field of human rights and
the development of democracy. The event is dedicated to the 10th year
of the UN’s Decade for Human Rights Education and will be organized
with UNESCO support.

Larisa Alaverdyan said earlier that the issue of cooperation between
the Armenian and Azerbaijani ombudsmen was too politicized for the
time being.
