Yerevan /Mediamax/. Law-enforcement bodies should be guided in
their actions only by the requirements of the law and be free from
any pressure, including the external one, Spokesman of the Armenian
President Viktor Soghomonian stated.
Mediamax reports that Viktor Soghomonian said this, commenting on the
statement of the Presidency of the European Union (EU), which reads
about concern in connection with the continuing arrests in Armenia.
"Not just oppositional representatives are arrested, but the people,
accused of committing criminal offences. Not in a single European
country the factor of involvement in politics is a pardon for
relieving the citizen from the responsibility for violating laws",
Viktor Soghomonian stated.
Touching upon the urge of the European structures, addressed to the
Armenian authorities, to take up all the necessary steps to ease the
tension, the Spokesman of the President noted that "that is exactly
the basis for all our actions".
