Armenian Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan at the meeting with head of the UNICEF Office Christine Weigand highly appreciated the active  cooperation with the Organisation in the field of protecting the rights of children.

As reported by the press service of the RA Ombudsman, during the  meeting they discussed the situation with the protection of the  rights of children in communities that have become border ones due to  the recent war, especially issues related to the implementation of  the right to education.

Tatoyan spoke about violations of children’s rights on the  Goris-Kapan road due to illegal border and customs control points of  Azerbaijan, in particular, violation of the right to education. He  noted that in some parts of the Syunik region, the Azerbaijani armed  forces are deployed in close proximity to schools, which is  absolutely unacceptable and contradicts international requirements  for the protection of children’s rights.
