    Council of Europe Secretary General Terry Davis reacts to developments
    in Yerevan

    2008-03-01 15:08:00

    ArmInfo. Council of Europe Secretary General Terry Davis is concerned
    about today's developments in Yerevan.

    The press service of the CE reports David to say: "I am very concerned
    about reports of injuries during the security forces operation to
    disperse protesters in Yerevan this morning. If these reports are
    confirmed, all allegations of excessive force should be properly
    investigated. It is also vital to prevent any further violence,"

    "I am also alarmed by the reports that the runner-up in the recent
    presidential elections, former President Lev Ter-Petrossian, has been
    put under house arrest. If this is true, he should be immediately
    released. If he is accused of committing a crime, he should be properly
    charged and prosecuted in a court of law like anyone else. In a
    democracy you cannot arbitrarily detain political opponents."
