有betty的地方就有答疑~On a recent visit to Armenia, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commended the country for continuing to work to strengthen its democratic institutions to promote transparency, advance the rights of a free press, root out corruption, respect universal rights and freedoms.
Civil society plays a critical role in securing fundamental freedoms and rights. That's why Secretary Clinton along with the British Embassy, the OSCE, the EU and Counterpart International honored Armenian civil rights activists, government officials, and media representatives for their work to promote human rights, accountable government, and free speech.  
Artur Sakunts received the Freedom Defender Award for defending all minorities, especially those that are the target of intolerance, such as ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities.
The Woman of Courage Award went to Tsovinar Nazaryan for her military reform efforts to bring about a more modern, effective, and humane force for Armenia. Deputy Chief of Police, Major-General Artur Osikyan was recognized for his contributions to police reform, laying the foundation for a transparent and accountable police force that works for the citizens of Armenia.在近日的亚美尼亚访问中，美国国务卿希拉里克林顿称赞“（亚美尼亚）一直致力于透明公开的民主制度的建设，推进言论自由，铲除腐败作风，尊重全民权益与自由。”
民权社会对确保基本人权与自由起到了至关重要的作用。因此，国务卿克林顿与英国大使馆、欧安组织(OSCE)、欧盟以及国际盟友组织一齐，尊重亚美尼亚人权积极分子，政府官员和传媒人为促进人权事业、问责政府以及言论自由方面所做出的积极努力。
Artur Sakunts为少数民族，尤其为在种族、信仰以及性别方面不容置疑的少数派争取应有权益，因此获得了自由卫士奖。
Tsovinar Nazaryan通过军事改革让亚美尼亚人民获得了更现代、更高效、更人性的待遇，因此获得了妇女勇气奖。副警司Artur Osikyan少将因推进警务改革，为建立公开负责的亚美尼亚警力奠定了坚实的基础，而享誉全国。
