Ruling force`s action illegal - Arman Tatoyan

ArmInfo. The head of the Civil Contract party, who holds the post of Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, in order to maintain his power, goes beyond his authority, illegally interferes or usurps the exclusive powers of law  enforcement agencies. This was stated by the former human rights  defender of Armenia, the head of the Tatoyan Foundation, Arman  Tatoyan.

According to him, in other words, these powers belong exclusively to  these bodies, and the Prime Minister is prohibited from doing what he  does.

Tatoyan believes that law enforcement agencies should not allow the  Civil Contract party to turn them into a tool for protecting their  interests with its actions that destroy statehood. "The head of the  executive power, giving open political instructions to law  enforcement agencies, discredits them - to the point of giving  instructions on what they can and cannot do.

This is done in an organized manner: some deputies of the Civil  Contract party immediately begin to justify and disseminate these  instructions. Their obsession with political power is so great that  they do not even think that the status of the prime minister is a  trump card confirming the illegality of the actions of each of them.

Thus, the foundations of the rule of law are destroyed, checks and  balances - the mechanisms of a democratic state - cease to work. As a  result, everyone, including bodies that should be independent from  the government, begin to serve one person and one party," the human  rights activist added.

Tatoyan is confident that no matter what investigative or  pre-investigative actions are carried out in relation to the Mother  See of Holy Etchmiadzin, the head of the Civil Contract party, who  holds the post of prime minister, already puts the stamp of  illegality on them with his illegal intervention. "This is evidence  that a party and one-man government have been established in the  country," he noted.
