    OSCE hails release of Armenian oppositionist prisoners

    The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) is
    satisfied with the release from prison of Aramazd Zakarian and Zhora
    Sapeian of the Armenian opposition Republican Party and the abolition
    of charge against them.

    This is mentioned in the statement of the head of the OSCE Yerevan
    office, Vladimir Pryakhin, published by the OSCE secretariat in Vienna
    on Friday.

    The OSCE also approves the actions of the Armenian authorities
    releasing Suren Sureniants of the same party and hopes that
    investigation against him will be ended.

    Vladimir Pryakhin's statement reads: "The OSCE hopes that this step
    taken by the Armenian authorities will promote political dialogue
    between the opposition and the ruling coalition of Armenia and boost
    stabilization in this country".

    Simultaneously, the head of the OSCE mission in Yerevan expressed
    regret over the limitation of the human rights to the freedom of
    assembly and speech in Armenia, a signatory of the OSCE main provisions
    and the Istanbul Charter.

    Mr. Pryakhin also stressed that the OSCE Yerevan office was going
    to continue to closely monitor political developments in Armenia and
    support democratic processes on-going there.
