Ombudsman Offers To Mediate Between Government, Opposition

Armenia's state human rights ombudsman, Karen Andreasian, on Monday offered to help the government and the main opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK) embark on a dialogue that would address lingering political tensions in the country.

In a statement posted on his website, Andreasian said he will send this week letters to the leaders of the HAK and the three parties represented in the Armenian government formally expressing his readiness to mediate between the two rival camps.

He said he could specifically help them bridge their differences over seven concrete political issues. Those include the disputed presidential election of February 2008, the ensuing government crackdown on the opposition and its consequences.
