Armenian Opposition Steps Up Efforts For Jailed Members' Release

The leader of a major Armenian opposition party has warned the authorities that they will seek a broader international support in achieving the release of a dozen or so members of their alliance who, the opposition claims, remain jailed for their political views.

Aram Manukian, who chairs the board of the Armenian National Movement Party (HHSh), a key member of the country's broader opposition alliance, Armenian National Congress (HAK), pledged on Monday to use the entire political "arsenal" to achieve the goal.

At a press conference Manukian presented the text of a recent resolution backing the Armenian opposition's call for "the release of political prisoners" adopted by a major political party embracing liberal-democratic movements across Europe as substantiation of the intention.
