ArmInfo.The Human Rights Defender of Artsakh Ruben Melikyan has resigned.
Melikyan wrote on his Facebook page in particular: "Just yesterday, the report of the office of the Human Rights Defender of Artsakh 'Armenianophobia in Azerbaijan: Organized hatred and enmity towards Armenians' was presented. Thus, in fact we completed the fact-finding mission on the April 2016 war and although there is still a lot of work to be done, nevertheless, I think that I already have the right to implement my personal decision, which was taken 2-3 more months ago. I resign from the post of Human Rights Defender of Artsakh. Most likely I will be engaged in human rights activities independetly from star administration, but will not stop assistance to Artsakh ".
