Attention to humanitarian issues is paramount in conflict and post-conflict situations. Mr. Arman Tatoyan, the director of the Center for Law and Justice “Tatoyan” Foundation, said this during a meeting with the recipients of the “Aurora” gratitude scholarship.
“During the 44-day war and after that, the rights and security of the civilian population, the border residents affected by armed attacks, the collection of the facts of violation of their rights and their protection, paying special attention to the rights of journalists, children, women, the elderly, etc., have a primary place in our work. As a result of the Azerbaijani invasions of RA, some water resources came under their control, which caused serious problems of access to water and the right to use water safely,” said Arman Tatoyan, while emphasizing that humanitarian issues should be raised, solutions proposed and everything done not to allow political interests to harm rights and security.
