Pashinyan: Protection of the rights of citizens in Armenia from now  on should not be selective, depending on the type and the origin of  people

ArmInfo. The activities of the Prosecutor's Office over the past year can be assessed as effective.  This was announced at the event dedicated to the 101st anniversary of  the Armenian Prosecutor's Office and the Day of the Prosecutor's  Office employee, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, adding that this  does not mean that there were no omissions in the structure's   activities.  

As the prime minister noted, there are, of course,  omissions in the activities of all structures and officials:  "Is it  difficult to say whether we can achieve perfection or not?"  Nevertheless, as Pashinyan assured, during the last year, the  Prosecutor's Office clearly showed that meets the standards of the  new Armenia and is ready to carry out the mission entrusted to it. 

"Our goal is that every citizen of Armenia considers the Day of the  Prosecutor's Office to be his/her day, because the most essential  function of the Prosecutor's Office is to protect and preserve  interests and values, the rights of citizens and the state," the  premier explained.  He stressed that the cause of many catastrophic  pages of the history of the Armenian people is the lack of fairness  and justice, and this is the most powerful factor separating the  nation. "When people are divided into varieties, when the right is an  instrument of elitist application, this is a real problem," the Prime  Minister said.  Unfortunately, Pashtnyan stressed, the law  enforcement system of Armenia has for a long time acted precisely  according to this logic. According to him, the solution to this  problem is the most important mission of the authorities, and, above  all, the Prosecutor's Office.

<Every citizen of Armenia should feel that the state is firmly behind  him/her. Every person in Armenia should feel that he/she is protected  in our country. The right in Armenia should no longer be an elitist  privilege. Every citizen must be sure that people wearing a  prosecutor's uniform are completely committed to ensuring his/her  rights, regardless of his/her position, origin, job, "the Prime  Minister stressed. He also stated that the closest plans of the  authorities are very clear - the criminal should be punished, the  criminal subculture in Armenia should be eradicated: "The criminal  should be free only when everyone has guarantees that the threat from  criminal is neutralized". Speaking about the fight against  corruption, the head of the Cabinet stressed that the prosecutor's  office in this direction should show maximum efficiency.  Moreover,  as Pashinyan stressed, the fight against corruption should not be  perceived only in retrospective terms: "This applies to all  manifestations of corruption at all times".
