DECLARATION OF SUPPORT
We protest against continuous illegal actions aimed at blocking Georgi Vanian’s public activities.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, we declare that we will use all the possible mechanisms and will take all the possible steps to ensure his protection. 06.12.2010
Public activist Georgi Vanyan is the chairman of the Caucasus Center of Peace-Making Initiatives (CCPMI) NGO.
At the end of November, 2010 a large scale campaign was launched by press and all TV stations of Armenia as well as many public and political figures with a purpose to discredit Vanyan’s work.
The campaign has been disseminating false information, which is further used as a basis for different interpretations and evaluations of his alleged „activities and position.“
The main goal is to create an image of a corrupt person working for „the enemy’s intelligence service.“
In addition to this, the hidden pressure aimed at blocking Vanian’s activities intensifies further.
This occurs through blackmailing and intimidating citizens of Armenia on behalf of some influential institutions, which in its turn leads to termination of renting contracts of premises aimed for CCPMI public events. Georgi Vanyan and his family have been receiving death threats.
The goal of the Council is to carry out and coordinate human rights activities and civil actions.
