The last session of the forum of the International Federation of Human Rights is taking place at one of the halls of Marriot Armenia hotel where supporters of ANC and human rights activists hold another of their actions of protest to remind the guests one more time about political prisoners in Armenia.

Vardan Harutyunyan, representative of the Committee of Political Prisoners and Politically Persecuted Persons that organized the three day actions says that their actions have yielded results:

"Participants of the forum came and took part in the opposition rally. They raised the problem of political prisoners before the authorities."

Vardan Harutyunyan is one of the human rights activists who refused to participate in the forum.

"If it wasn't for all this noise, pressure of boycotts, activism of non-boycotters, the results would have been different. We attained our aim. The noise raised was pressing on them and it worked."

Meanwhile another silent protest action took place in front of the Government building: inhabitants of development zones and parents of soldiers killed in army in time of peace gathered there. They presented their protests to the President of the International Federation of Human Rights.

Vachagan Hakobyan, Chairman of the "Protection of the Ownership Right" NGO says they presented to FIDH a video film about their problem. "Yesterday one of our groups was received by the vice-mayor of Yerevan Kamo Areyan who was displeased with the visit and told them to find those who took their property and get it back from them. He said there was no money in the budget and told them not to come again. Beglaryan delayed with an answer for a year then said he was not competent. We won't get anything with these authorities in power," Hakobyan says.   

Gohar Sargsyan, mother of a killed soldier, added that they presented stories of their sons' murders to the President of FIDH. "This state has violated rights of our sons because today we have only their tombstones, the fact of murder but no one guilty. She said she would pursue that those really guilty were punished."
