The threats continued

18/01/2007

“The Armenian government has done little to address serious human rights violations. Threats to media freedom in Armenia continued in 2006, as more journalists faced harassment and attacks, and broadcast media lack pluralism and remain largely pro-government.”

This is not the announcement made by one of the oppositional parties of Armenia, but rather a reference to the recent “Human Rights Watch” World Report. It’s also stated: “Over the past two years, the government forced hundreds of central Yerevan residents to vacate their homes to allow for construction of a business district. Many felt that government compensation was well below the market value of their properties.”
