ArmInfo.The human rights defender has no right to comment on specific criminal cases, including the Sasna Tsrer case. Armenian Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan stated in a conversation with journalists on June 1 in the Parliament.
As for the protest actions that took place in YSU, as a result of which rector Aram Simonyan was hospitalized, the ombudsman stated that political influence and speculation should not be connected with educational institutions, this is unacceptable.
"In the past, it has often been noted that it is not possible to politicize the institutions of the institution, I believe that we have not learned from the past what is meant by the persecution against the university, because the university is not a party, this is an educational institution." If there is information about illegal actions, an investigation must be conducted, "Tatoyan noted.
Tatoyan also noted that the student councils and universities should be non-partisan. "Previously committed violations should not be repeated again," the ombudsman said.
"If the rector carried out violations, let the investigation be conducted, if his guilt is proved, then he must be held accountable." It is my responsibility to assess the rights of specific individuals, "Tatoyan said, adding that there are many respected people at YSU , and everything that happens affects the rating of the university, and this is unacceptable.
Regarding the fact that some RPA representatives stated that they are being prosecuted, Tatoyan stated that such issues are not within his competence.
