Armenia"s ex Foreign Minister Alexander Arzumanyan doesn't care
whether people consider him a political prisoner or not.
"A person decides his status himself. If you think that you are a
political prisoner and a hostage of your soul then you declare it to
the world. You don't care whether others agree with you or not. I
consider myself a political prisoner and I am not interested what
others think of it. It gives me an impetus in my future struggle,"
says Mr. Arzumanyan.
Alexander Arzumanyan is convinced that the European Court of Human
Rights will reject none of the claims on election fraud of the 2008.
"But this is a shame for Armenia. We long for an independent country
at the same time begging justice outside Armenia."
During today's discussion entitled "Political Persecutions in Armenia:
Inward Look" Commander of Shushi special battalion Jirayr Sefilyan
dwelt on the general atmosphere in Armenian jails.
"If in foreign countries inmates are corrected in jails in Armenia
we witness the opposite. An innocent person turns into a criminal in
Armenian prisons," he said.
