State Department Report on Human Rights runs counter with U.S. President’s positionApril 12, 2011 - 13:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The U.S. State Department Report on the situation with human rights in Armenia was full of outrageous contradictions where Karabakh was concerned, according to Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) press secretary. As Eduard Sharmazanov noted, the report contradicts the positions of the U.S. President and State Secretary, who stated that Karabakh issue must be resolved based on the principle of the people’s right for self-determination. In U.S. State Department Report 2010, Karabakh was phrased as “occupied Azerbaijani territory.”
Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution. President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova. Partner news |
