YEREVAN, APRIL 7, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan on April 6 received Prosecutor General of the
Hague-headquartered International Criminal Court (ICC) Luis
Moreno-Ocampo who had arrived in Yerevan in order to attend the
37th forum of the International Federation for Human Rights
(FIDH).
Welcoming the guest, S. Sargsyan said: "The fact that
people, who take an active part and have wide experience of
human rights defence and condemnation of crimes against
humanity, have arrived in Armenia is of great importance to us,"
adding that "naturally, in recent period there has been much
talk about one of the cruelest crimes against humanity - the
Armenian Genocide". L. Moreno-Ocampo said that their activities
are aimed at protecting human rights, and the prevention of
future genocides is one of their primary goals.
The press service of the Armenian president reported that
S. Sargsyan and L. Moreno-Ocampo discussed the opportunities of
cooperation.
