SHAVARSH KOCHARYAN SPOKE ON BEHALF OF EUROPEAN LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE
The situation in Central Asia was discussed at the PACE summer session.
According to the regulations, chairman of the PACE political committee Abdul
Kadir Atesh delivered a speech. His report was mostly dedicated to the
developments in Uzbekistan.
170 people were hurt in Uzbekistan on May 13, many of them were just
innocent victims. Majority in Uzbekistan, especially the youth are convinced
that the incumbent President Islam Karimov will not be in power for long.
The Member of the Armenian delegation to PACE Shavarsh Kocharyan was
proposed to make a report on the situation in Central Asia on behalf of the
European Liberal Democratic Alliance.
In his speech he touched upon the democracy development not only in the
countries of Central Asia but also in a number of CIS member-states and
Europe. `Uzbekistan’s example proved that `strong’ power causes numerous
victims. The events of May 13 cannot be approved. The power that applies to
terror against the people has no right to fight against international
terror’, Shavarsh Kocharyan resumed.
