    Armenia

    The Yerkir Union NGO addressed an open letter to EU Special
    Representative in the South Caucasus Peter Semneby. In the letter
    the organization lists numerous facts of violations of Armenians'
    political, economic, social and religious rights in Georgia. In
    conclusion the letter reads:

    "Dear Mr. Semneby,

    Considering the above, we are urging you to assume a more resolute
    and efficient position on the matter and try to "explain" to the
    Georgian authorities that pursuing a strong-arm policy, organizing
    punitive police actions and violating human rights in dealing with
    the Georgian citizens of Armenian origin means a stalemate. It is
    only recognizing, protecting and exercising the fundamental rights
    and freedoms of national minorities, as well as applying democratic
    procedures in practice that can guarantee the country's development.

    "It is only by showing a principle-based attitude to the problems
    that you can help the Georgian authorities in creating a democratic
    system, which will guarantee stability in both Georgia and the entire
    South Caucasus."
