ArmInfo.Today it is already obvious that Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan is not going to resign, which significantly increases the risks of another surrender of territories to Azerbaijan under false formulations, opposition MP Anna Mkrtchyan stated at a briefing on March 21.
According to her, citizens of Armenia are now left to guess whether the surrender of territories will be determined by kilometers or tens of kilometers, presenting to the public another model with a reduced scale. Representatives of the faction in their statements pointed out the dangerous nature of the development of the situation, which is confirmed almost on a daily basis. "This already resembles a tragedy when the leadership responsible for the state security system, in the period after active hostilities, responds to requests about how you are doing and responds that everything is fine. We can only hope that in this mess, the republic will continue to resist such phenomena," the parliamentarian noted, recalling the security system built over 30 years, which Nikol Pashinyan has been destroying and destroying over the six years of his rule, but has not yet been able to completely destroy.
Mkrtchyan also drew attention to the developments in the internal political life of the country, in which forceful pressure on undesirable persons continues. There are several dozen political prisoners in Armenia facing criminal cases aimed at silencing the opposition. "I would like to express words of support to all political prisoners, including the vice-chairman of the Republican Party Armen Ashotyan, Narek Malyan, Mamikon Aslanyan and others. International structures are already talking about the presence of political prisoners in the country, several of whose reports indicate that This form of suppression of punishment, such as arrests, is used as a mechanism and form of punishment, rather than criminal procedural actions. The courts in Armenia are actually subordinate to investigative structures," the deputy said, also adding that according to the same reports, there is practically no independence in the country judicial system, and there is no division of power between the judicial and executive powers.
As an example of what was said, Mkrtchyan cited the court hearings at which the case against Armen Ashotyan was considered. <Each time the courts began with the words that there was a crime related to the property of the Yerevan State Medical University. Heratsi. What does this mean? This means that it imperatively represents damage, which presupposes the presence of victims. At meetings, the defense side constantly raises the question of what kind of damage we are talking about and who the victim is. There have been no answers to these questions in 10 months of trials," stressed Anna Mkrtchyan.
