Human Rights Protector Armenia Arman Tatokan in his Facebook criticized the statements of deputies from the ruling party “Civil Agreement”.
According to the Ombudsman, the deputies are trying to create the impression that his finding to this day is the result of their “tolerance.”
“moreover, it is indicated that the ruling faction never gave assessments of the activities of the defender of human rights, presenting it as an achievement. With full responsibility, they declare that such allegations do not correspond to reality,” said Tataryan.
According to him, during the activities of the Human Rights Defender, in particular, after the war, pressure attempts were made using various methods – ranging from the open requirements of a number of high-ranking persons to stop or significantly narrow the work associated with post-free issues to attempts Reduce financing, as well as reduction of the number of cars serving the Ombudsman office.
“Against the Ombudsman conducted organized campaigns, including with the participation of high-ranking individuals of legislative and executive bodies,” said Tatokan.
It is noteworthy that the term of office of the current Ombudsman Armenia Arman Tatokan expires on February 23, 2022. The ruling faction nominated as a candidate for this post Minister of Justice of Armenia Christine Grigoryan.
