Human Rights Defender of Armenia Arman Tatoyan posted the following on his Facebook page:

“Our dignity underlies our rights and freedoms.

However, the basis of personal dignity is the dignity of our statehood and people, the heavy blows dealt to which are intolerably difficult.

We Armenians need to maintain our statehood, the unity and consolidation of our people and believe in our big future.

With this, we will guarantee not only our, but also our children’s rights and freedoms and will maintain the dignity and honor of our generations.”
