Jagland didn’t receive the letter?
Support A1+!
It turns out that the CE Secretary General hasn't received the letter of 11 Armenian non-governmental organizations asking him to meet with the 13 political prisoners in Armenia. "Nobody transmitted the letter and I am not aware of anyone addressing me with that issue," Mr. Jagland told "A1+" today.
Jagland stated that despite all circumstances, the presence of political prisoners is inacceptable for the CE. "People can't be deprived of liberty for their political views. We can't intervene in the domestic affairs of your country, but we do raise the issue during our meetings with the authorities. Your national institutions should solve that issue."
Jagland was supposed to meet with the relatives of the 10 victims of March 1 yesterday, but another CE representative met with them due to Jagland's busy schedule. How does the representative view the fact that not one of the 10 murders has been revealed in the course of the past two and a half years? "A1+" repeated the question two times, but Mr. Jagland didn't respond.
Instead, he gave a long talk about Azerbaijan's bellicose statements and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "It should be clear as to which European structure is involved in the conflict settlement. The OSCE Minsk Group is involved in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. We find that there must be a peaceful settlement of the conflict and we are supporting that as much as possible."
