Solidarity from Armenia to Istanbul Protesters
The recent news coming from Taksim Square, Istanbul, is worrying. We, Armenian civic activists, express our support and solidarity to all those activists fighting for human rights and democratisation processes in Turkey. We condemn the use of force against peaceful demonstrators, which has resulted in deaths, dozens of injuries and the detention of hundreds.
There is no alternative to democracy. Human rights have no borders. We call for the respect of the basic rights of citizens to hold peaceful demonstrations. We simultaneously demand that the issue be properly investigated by the Council of Europe and other international organisations.
We are sure that our generation in Armenia, in Turkey, and in other countries, will be able to build democratic societies which will endorse regional and global, dynamic and equal human development. We are for the human rights struggle.
