ArmInfo. The head of the Ministry  of Justice Rustam Badasyan met with the human rights defenders who  were holding a protest action in front of the department. An ArmInfo  correspondent reports.

To note, today the human rights defenders of Armenia held a protest  action in front of the building of the Ministry of Justice. They  demanded from the Justice Ministry to clarify whether the document  would be signed during the visit of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to  Moscow.

Badasyan assured the protesters that the Ministry of Justice had not  received the agreement, which the media has been actively writing  about recently, the minister called these rumors disinformation.  <Do  not believe these rumors. I assure you, if such an agreement existed,  it would certainly have entered the Ministry of Justice, but we have  not received any document. If the signing of any agreement was  planned, I as a member of the government would know about it.

It should be clearly understood that all international treaties,  before signing, are coordinated with the Ministry of Justice, so, all  talk about a secret document is outright disinformation. Such  information stuffing is carried out in order to sow panic and despair  in society. This is a new fashion, as a rule, telegram channels make  informational stuffing, and then the media refer to them, "the  minister stressed.  Badasyan also noted that the trilateral agreement  of November 9 is only a decree on the intention of the parties to  carry out certain actions. The minister also stressed that he, as a  citizen of Armenia, is also concerned about the situation in Syunik,  but he is sure that the government of the country will never let the  citizens down and will be guided by the demand of the people in  solving all issues.

To recall, recently information appeared in the media that the  Ministry of Justice received a draft agreement, which is planned to  be signed in Russia. According to the press, the Ministry of Justice  should clarify whether the wording of this treaty is consistent with  the Constitution of Armenia. Under this agreement, Armenia transfers  a number of settlements to Azerbaijan, opens a corridor linking  Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan. Moreover, according to this document,  Armenia undertakes to withdraw its troops from Artsakh.
