EaPMN at the OSCE ODIHR Human dimension implementation meeting
An implementing partner of the EaPMN in Armenia, Analytical Centre on Globalization and Regional Cooperation, represented by Armen Grigoryan, has been presented at the OSCE ODIHR Human Dimension Implementation Meeting in Warsaw, Poland. Mr Grigoryan made a statement regarding the situation of the national minorities in Armenia, and stressed the importance of the adoption of the anti-discrimination legislation in the country.
Minority civil society organizations (CSOs) in Armenia recommend the government and state authorities to decrease or simplify the procedures related to customs taxes, which limit their access to freely receive donated literature and textbooks in their native languages by the governments and institutions from their historic homelands.
A statement related to the situation of the national and ethnic minorities in Armenia has been made on 30th September, 2015 during the Working Session 14 dedicated to Tolerance and Non Discrimination.
