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 Soghomonyan
stated, commenting on the statement of the Presidency of the European
Union (EU), which expresses concern that the arrests in Armenia may
exert influence on the law-enforcement bodies.
"Not only opposition representatives are arrested, but also 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 Soghomonyan stated.
Speaking about the call of European structures to 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."
