France, Strasbourg, June 25 / Trend A. Maharramli /
Today, a written declaration "Armenia's continued non-fulfillment of
international obligations" was given during the last working day of
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
Besides member of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE Rafael Huseynov,
the document was signed by 20 other MPs.
"In 2008, the PACE adopted Resolution 1609, which reflected the bloody
events, crimes, various pressures on human rights which took place
after elections in Armenia. It was required for the Armenian state to
investigate the issues and take appropriate actions soon.
Unfortunately despite a long period of time passed, no requirement is
fulfilled.
Armenia still has no developments in the investigation of the events
occurred March 1, 2008, when 10 people died, many freethinking people
were imprisoned, masses and free press were pressured. In this regard,
Armenia should comply with international obligations, including
obligations to the CE. It must release detained political prisoners,
investigate all the moments contrary to human rights that arose after
the elections, and quickly take all necessary measures," the document
said.
This written declaration was announced during the last working day of
the session at the PACE meeting. Other deputies continue to put their
signatures under the document.
