Discussion devoted to Armenia’s political situation took place at Washington Carnegie foundation on Wednesday.

Carnegie foundation expert on Caucasus, Tomas De Waal, stated there were many discussions on external political issues and the Karabagh conflict in the Caucasus. Discussion on the internal political situation in Armenia takes place for the first time.

British Foreign Policy Center expert Adam Hag, manager on Eurasia at National Democratic Institute in Washington Laura Jute, manager on Armenia at American Bar Association Don Shack, US former ambassador to Armenia John Evans participated in the discussion, reports Radio Liberty.

Laura Jute spoke on recent events happened in Armenia. She was interested in whether changes are real or they intend to lessen the tense. She also commented on release of political prisoners and acceptance of rallies in the places selected by opposition, as Armenia runs a significant process in improving democracy.

 “It is hard to assess March 1 influence on Armenia’s justice and peoples’ acceptance of justice,” Don Shack stated. “Many cases that shed light were accepted as political shows and not a fare trial. We hope the last developments will initiate a change.”

According to John Evans, what happened in Armenia is evolution rather than revolution.
