Politics

On Thursday, Leader of Union for National Self-determination Paruyr Hayrikyan, speaking at 24th conference criticized Armenia’s current authorities saying international organizations had repeatedly pointed their fingers at human rights violations in the republic. Council of Europe has warned called it could call into question Armenia’s CE membership, Hayrikyan reminded.

He said the Union-conducted public opinion survey showed widespread disaffection for president Kocharyan and National Assembly. 72% of respondents are unhappy about Kocharyan’s presidency and 79% about the parliament majority.

By the end of the conference the Union adopted a resolution. “Current illegitimate authorities have nothing in common with Armenia and Armenian people. We called on European and International community to make difference between Armenian people struggling against the illegalities and the authorities while imposing sanctions on the republic”, the resolution says.
