Flaws came up after March 1
The EU once again draws Armenia's attention to the importance of human rights as a fundamental element for creating a full-fledged democratic society.
Referring to the report by OSCE Representative for Freedom of Media according to which the reforms in the RA law "On Television and Radio" are not sufficient to ensure the pluralism of mass media", the EU calls on Armenian lawmakers to continue close collaboration with civil society, Europe and OSCE experts to make sure that the law contributes to the freedom of media and corresponds to European standards, as stated in the British official's report.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Great Britain has released the 2010 Human Rights: Democracy" report in which there is a reference to Armenia as well.
The report also touches upon the report by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, which states the flaws of Armenia's judicial system that came up during the trials of murders following the events of March 2008. It also advises taking into account the ODIHR report when implementing reforms in the legal and judicial system.
The report by the UK Ministry of Foreign Ministry also states that "there is ongoing discrimination against Armenian women in politics and concerns over family violence in Armenia."
