    ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES YET TO ANSWER QUESTIONS

    The European Union (EU) expects the Armenian authorities to give
    logical answers to the recently listed questions about human rights
    protection and democratic development in the country, Swedish
    Ambassador to Armenia Hans-Gunnar Aden told a press briefing.

    "We have discussed a number of issues related to human rights and
    freedom of speech with the Armenian authorities and expect them to
    give logical answers to the questions raised," Aden said.

    He pointed out that Armenia has yet to do much to ensure the freedom
    of the press and worship, rights to demonstrations and independence
    of the judicial system.

    In this context, the Swedish Ambassador pointed out that no independent
    investigation of the tragic events on March 1-2, 2008, has so far
    been conducted in Armenia, and those responsible for the death of
    tern persons have not been punished.

    All the points are basic principles of the EU Eastern Partnership
    program Armenia is involved in. Ambassador Aden expressed hope that
    the Armenian authorities will soon answer the questions raised,
    as they expressed their readiness to ensure progress in these fields.
