STEPANAKERT, FEBRUARY 26, ARTSAKHPRESS: Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan was also a speaker at this discussion. Referring to UN human rights, Mnatsakanyan mentioned in particular that Armenia has been a member of the UN Commission on Human Rights since 2002, until its completion in 2007, and noted that human rights are in another dimension and we cannot avoid the valuation of human rights.
As a further achievement in human rights, the Armenian Foreign Minister pointed to the Universal Periodic Review process. He said that this process is an important work at the national level, it also has a political importance, and here is the dilemma on how to approach human rights policy so that it does not happen at the expense of the actual issues of human rights.
