In a conversation with the daily, Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Samvel Nikoyan commenting on Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg’s visit to Armenia.

“During his visit Hammarberg said he is concerned over the presence of convicts of March 1 events. Meanwhile, Hammarberg stressed he had not yet familiarized himself with the criminal cases of these people. This indicates European officials make different statements for different audiences,” Nikoyan said.

According to him, such an approach will create tension. “Only we can solve all our problems. Neither Hammarberg, nor Prescott nor Colombe can do so,” he stressed.
