05 June, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

We, the undersigned civil society organizations, express our support to the activity of the Open Society Foundation active in the Republic of Armenia since 1997.<\/p>\n

We welcome the establishment of the necessary environment for the freedom of expression as a result of the Velvet Revolution in 2018.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, during the last days, a group a citizens have been constantly protesting near the office of the Open Society Foundations, the nature, the harassments against the police keeping the public order, the threatening against the employees of the Foundation, the demonstrations of hate speech and violence of which are unacceptable from the perspective of human rights protection.<\/p>\n

The dissemination of the false and forged information and the evaluations on their ground are useless attempts to humiliate the human rights protection, the role and essence of the civil society organizations in the formation process of accountable and transparent governance and where the Open Society Foundations \u2013 Armenia has its own contribution.<\/p>\n

Moreover, such protest movements lead to the limitations of the freedom of associations, which contradicts the principals of democracy and legal state. It is also worth mentioning, that its already a few days that the proper activities of the Foundation is not ensured.<\/p>\n

We urge the law enforcement bodies to take measures to maintain the public order and to ensure the secure movements of its employees and visitors, as well as prevent the possible harassment against their lives, health and property.<\/p>\n
