Relatives of March 1 victims waiting for Hammarberg
The relatives of the ten victims of the March 1st deadly clashes have addressed a letter to the Council of Europe Yerevan Office. They are hopeful that CoE Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg will find time to meet the relatives of the ten victims during his visit to Yerevan from January 18 to 21.
The Council of Europe Yerevan Office today told Alla Hovhannisyan, the mother of March 1 victim Tigran Khachatryan, that the CoE Commissioner had been informed about their request.
"I was told that Mr. Hammarberg is already en route to Yerevan," Alla Hovhannisyan told A1+.
"If the CoE Commissioner finds no time to meet us, it means his visit to Armenia is formal and the CoE is applying double standards against its member states. I hope that Hammarberg will find time to meet us," said Mrs. Hovhannisyan.
