Human rights in crisis in Armenia
Before commenting on Freedom House Country Report on Armenia, one should understand what's going on in the republic, said Larisa Alaverdyan, secretary of heritage opposition party.
"Armenia really failed to progress during the past 8 years as it's mentioned in the report. Moreover, a number of laws adopted by the RA National Assembly go against human rights norms," she told a news conference in Yerevan on Wednesday.
"We should defend our rights, specifically electoral rights and freedom of speech," Mrs. Alaverdyan said.
Founded in 2002, Heritage , a National Liberal Party, is national by its roots, liberal in its economic principle, and an advocate of the democratic system of governance and due process for its citizens. The party's objective is the development of Armenia as a democratic, lawful, and rights-based country that anchors its domestic and foreign policies in the nation's sovereign interest. During the party's Third Congress on May 30, 2005, Raffi K. Hovannisian was elected chairman. The other eight members of the party board were elected by secret vote.
