Armenian citizens must be deeply convinced of law justice - premier 

ArmInfo.Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attended the solemn event dedicated to the 10th  anniversary of the formation of the Investigative Committee, which took place in the National academic theatre of opera and ballet.

The Prime Minister congratulated those present on the occasion of the  10th anniversary of the formation of the Investigative Committee,  thanked everyone for the work done during this period. In his speech,  Nikol Pashinyan referred to the wide range reforms carried out by the  Government and the National Assembly in the field, emphasized the  work carried out in the direction of increasing the capacities of  investigative bodies.

According to the Prime Minister, if it sounds correct that it is an  investment in the development of the Investigative Committee,  however, from his own point of view and the Government's point of  view, it is an investment in establishing justice in the Republic of  Armenia.

"Yes, I specifically use the wording 'establish justice' for two key  reasons, because I believe that justice is one of the primary demands  of the people's nonviolent velvet revolution that brought me and our  political team to power, and secondly, unfortunately, we cannot say  that the citizens of the Republic of Armenia have a sense of justice  in the Republic of Armenia," said the Head of the Government.  Emphasizing once again that the reforms implemented in the sector are  aimed at establishing justice in Armenia, the Prime Minister noted.  "Having held the position of the Prime Minister of the Republic of  Armenia for more than six years, I say that the agenda of  establishing justice is as urgent in the Republic of Armenia today as  it was in 2018 or 2019. But this does not mean that we have not done  anything to establish justice." Nikol Pashinyan added that in the  context of all these reforms, first of all, steps are being taken to  accomplish justice institutions.

Noting that the first stage of reforms was completed last year and  the political work at this stage is over, Nikol Pashinyan noted that  now the stage has come when the Government and the parliamentary  majority, as representatives of the people, should get the results of  fairness and justice, legality, in the form of a decrease in the  level of crime. "Otherwise, we will not have an answer to the people  of why we made such decisions due to social, security and many other  problems, why we made the primary decisions regarding the judicial  system."

    Once again congratulating on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of  the formation of the Investigative Committee and sending words of  appreciation for the results and achievements made during this  period, the Prime Minister once again emphasized that the necessary  conditions have been provided for the judiciary, legal system, and  law enforcement system, so that it is fully expected that there will  be a strong legal system in the Republic of Armenia, there will be  justice and fairness.

"Basically, we have created all the prerequisites and preconditions  for institutional accomplishment. And now I say not only the  Government, not only the parliamentary majority, but also I say on  behalf of the people of the Republic of Armenia, we don't have much  time to instill the feeling among the citizens of the Republic of  Armenia that there is justice in the Republic of Armenia, there is  legality in the Republic of Armenia, everyone is equal before the law  in the Republic of Armenia, there are no privileged people in the  Republic of Armenia, irrespective of being the representative of the  past or present leadership, and in the Republic of Armenia, law,  legality, legal order, justice and fairness are not just words  mentioned in speeches, but they are reality.

And therefore, once again thanking you for the work done, in a way I  want to consider the 10th anniversary of the Investigative Committee  as zero point. zero point not in the sense that the work done is  nullified or thrown away, but zero point in the sense that at every  subsequent point from that zero point, the feeling and belief of the  citizens of the Republic of Armenia in the presence of justice,  fairness, law and legitimacy in the Republic of Armenia should deepen  more and more", said the Head of the Government.

Summarizing his speech, the Prime Minister once again congratulated  the Investigative Committee on the occasion of its 10th anniversary,  wished success on the way to making justice, fairness, law and  legitimacy an unquestionable, indisputable and irreversible reality  in the Republic of Armenia.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the  Investigative Committee, Prime Minister Pashinyan awarded a group of  representatives of the Committee with the commemorative medal of the  Prime Minister, a letter of appreciation and valuable gifts.
