CoE: March 12 events damaged badly Armenia's international image
The March 1 events damaged badly Armenia's international image, the Council of Europe Secretary General said.
"Laws preventing citizens from expressing discontent with the government and President operate in Armenia," Mr Terry Davis said. "Democracy supposes that people have the right to express opposite opinions. But I by no means support violence," he said, adding he heard about political prisoners in Armenia.
"I do not have exact information on the issue yet but I have a source that will furnish the essential information within a week," Mr Davis said, ARMENIA Today.
The events of March 1 resulted in 10 people killed and 200 injured.
Some 100 oppositionists were detained, including members of parliament.
