“The driving force of the modern society is knowledge that help people competently defend their rights. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone can freely exercise their rights and freedoms without prejudice and discrimination,” the Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan told a round table on December 10 timed to the International Human Rights Day. Roundtable participants stressed that Armenia is one of few countries which signed all documents regulating the human rights.
“We cannot say that we have achieved great results in human rights protection, though we try, but positive developments are also observed. In respect of human rights protection, Armenia is ahead of Azerbaijan, Georgia and many CIS countries. Certainly, we still have much to do,” Armenia’s Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan told reporters.
