ArmInfo.In 2018, the democratic world welcomed the political changes that occurred in Armenia. The head of the EU delegation in Armenia, Piotr Switalski, stated this on February 20 during the ceremony of awarding the 2018 General Rights Prize."We are confident that this direction, based on the fundamental values of respect for freedom, equality and respect for human rights, will be irreversible.
The European Union is ready to continue to support Armenia in building a modern, open society," Switalski said. In turn, the UN Resident Coordinator in Armenia Shombi Sharp noted that human rights are very important. "Last year in Armenia we witnessed a collective movement for rights and freedom that was heard throughout the world. We must work so that this wave does not go out, but on the contrary spread even more in Armenia. Since the protection of human rights is not only a matter of humanism and human values, but also the key to achieving peace, uncompromising and sustainable development, in which each has its own role, "stressed Sharp."Today we celebrate the achievements of Armenia in the field of human rights protection," said the Ambassador of the United Kingdom in Armenia Judith Farnuort. Charge d'Affaires at the Swedish Embassy, Martin Fredrikson, noted that in 2018, Armenian residents had demonstrated a real fight for their faith, proving that one day political changes could occur
