АрмИнфо. Комиссия Национального Собрания РА по государственно-правовым вопросам на заседании 12 ноября отклонила предложенный оппозиционной фракцией "Армения" проект заявления НС "О регрессе демократии в Армении".  Обсуждение прошло  в условиях острой полемики между депутатами от партии власти и оппозиции.

Депутат от фракции "Армения" Лилит Галстян, представившая проект заявления, указала на наличие серьезных проблем в сфере демократических институтов и защиты прав человека в стране.  В качестве проявлений регресса демократии оппозиционный депутат упомянула о широком применении арестов в качестве превентивной меры, увеличении числа смертей в исправительных учреждениях, самоубийствах, прослушивании телефонных разговоров и политических преследований. По словам Галстян, уголовные дела, возбужденные против оппозиционных политиков, также свидетельствуют о политических преследованиях. В частности, она заявила, что заключение в тюрьму второго президента РА Роберта Кочаряна и лидера партии "Сильная Армения" Самвела Карапетяна является проявлением политических преследований. В подтверждение своих слов депутат также сослалась на доклады международных правозащитных организаций. В частности, в докладе Human Rights Watch за 2026 год рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с применением предварительного заключения в Армении, независимостью судебной власти и смертями в исправительных учреждениях. В докладе Amnesty International по Армении также выражается обеспокоенность по поводу защиты прав человека, судебных процессов против журналистов и правозащитников, предварительного заключения и условий содержания под стражей.

Однако депутат от правящей фракции "Гражданский договор" Лилит Минасян оспорила оценки, представленные оппозицией. Она спросила, в каком международном докладе люди, находящиеся в тюрьмах Армении, называются "политическими заключенными". В ответ Галстян указал на случай с вице-председателем Республиканской партии Арменом Ашотяном, отметив, что Европейская народная партия в своей резолюции от 14 ноября 2023 года рассмотрела вопрос о его задержании и выразила обеспокоенность.

В ходе обсуждений депутат от оппозиции также упомянула случаи бывшего мэра Ванадзора Мамикона Асланяна и кандидата в мэры Степанавана Арсена Геворкяна. Мамикон Асланян был арестован в 2021 году после победы возглавляемого им блока на выборах в Совет  старейшин Ванадзора. Он провел более двух с половиной лет в тюрьме и был оправдан в октябре 2026 года.  Кандидат от партии "Сильная Армения" Арсен Геворкян был арестован 21 октября по обвинению в даче предвыборных взяток. Он умер 10 ноября в тюрьме "Нубарашена".

Во время обсуждений разгорелся спор между депутатом от фракции "Гражданский договор" Арманом Егояном и Лилит Галстян. Егоян раскритиковал депутата от оппозиции, призвав ее говорить об "Армении от моря до моря" вместо того, чтобы обсуждать вопрос о якобы отступлении от демократии. Галстян возразила, что депутат от правящей партии не может решать, какие вопросы ей следует поднимать. По ее оценке, попытка диктовать тему своего выступления  само по себе является проявлением антидемократической позиции.  К дебатам также присоединилась депутат от фракции "Армения" Агнесса Хамоян. Обращаясь к Арману Егояну, она сказала, что "роль страстного оратора уже занята", намекая на определение, которое премьер-министр Никол Пашинян использовал в своем предыдущем выступлении.

В итоге, после долгого обсуждения, депутаты от правящей фракции комиссии проголосовали против проекта заявления, представленного оппозицией.
