    Government To Revise International Agreements Towards Open Sky

    The U.S. Embassy has published its annual country reports on the state
    of human rights. Armenia report states violations of human rights,
    torture and other cruel and humiliating treatment in police, as well
    as electoral fraud in the presidential election of February 2013.

    The report of the Department of State notes that citizens complain
    of intimidation and torture in police stations.

    Corruption issues are highlighted despite some measures taken to
    fight corruption in the middle and low levels.

    In the section on the presidential election the use of administrative
    resource and a lack of impartiality by the public administration are
    noted. The report also states that the international observers assessed
    the election as overall fair though, nevertheless, interesting things
    were noticed. In particular, it is noted that in places where turnout
    was high, the incumbent's results were high too, which is indicates
    serious problems with counting, raising concerns about the integrity
    of the electoral process.
