On April 6-8, for the first time in the history of Armenia, an
international conference entitled "Justice, New Challenges" will
take place in Armenia organized by the International Federation of
Human Rights (seat in Paris). The head of the Centre of Right and
Freedom NGO Vardan Harutyunyan addressed a letter to the head of
the FIDH delegation Souhayr Belhassen, which in particular refuses
the invitation to take part in the forum. The author of the letter
says that the reason of their refusal is the current situation of
Armenia which was formed as a result of rigged election, slaughter
of peace ralliers, and existence of political prisoners. The
situation, according to Vardan Harutyunyan keeps worsening as
political persecution is continuing. No one bore responsibility
for the tragic events on March 1. Against this background, the NGO
refuses the invitation to take part in the FIDH organized "Justice,
New Challenges" forum.
