On 27 January President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Bako Sahakyan
partook in the reporting meeting of the Office of Public Prosecutor's
board summarizing the results of the work carried out in 2008 and
delivered there a speech. The President stated, in part:
"Respected officers of the Office of Public Prosecutor,
Every democratic country prioritizes safeguarding superiority of law
and legality, defending the legal system, the rights and legitimate
interests of citizens. From this very point the role of the Office of
Public Prosecutor is of great importance for our country and society.
I would like to express my satisfaction with the massive and
effective work the Office of Public Prosecutor has carried out in
recent times. The new working style of the system is welcome and
should be of a continued nature.
It will doubtlessly contribute to increasing the level of our people's
confidence in the Office of Public Prosecutor and establishing
supremacy of law and justice, which is an integral part of democracy.
I have been informed about the new phase of reforms and structural
innovations currently being carried out in the Office of Public
Prosecutor.
This is the strong requirement of the Constitution, in accordance with
which a qualitatively new "Law on The Office of20Public Prosecutor"
was adopted.
The policy of the republic's authorities is definite and immutable:
any unlawful action is totally unacceptable for us. This is the
requirement of the law and your institution is also responsibility
for applying it. I do not doubt that you clearly realize you the
share of your responsibility.
During last year the Office of Public Prosecutor has targeted combating
corruption and bribery and strengthening law and order. Within this
context I valuate positive a number of indices. In the year of 2008 the
Office of Public Prosecutor registered 74 crimes committed against
public service and governing system against 35 ones in 2007. In
comparison with the previous year the volume of reimbursement of
damages caused to the State has increased tenfold. The number of the
disclosed violations and the revisions based on the obtained data
concerning the damages caused to the State has increased too. New
impetus should be given to these works.
At the same time it is necessary pay attention to drawbacks and
oversights that are present in the system. First of all there are
individual cases of tolerance towards the struggle against criminality,
low level of professionalism, which naturally cast a shadow on the
reputation of the system.
Another target of the Office of Public Prosecutor is the struggle
against abuses by state officials. I am abreast of necessary measures
taken by you in this direction. According to the new "Law on the Office
of Public Prosecutor" the struggle against the abovementioned phenomena
should be one of the main fields of the structure's activities.
The Office of Public Prosecutor as a structure defending legality
possesses a powerful weapon -the law, which must be applied to defend
the rights and interests of the state, the people and individual
citizens. Persistent, highly professional and consecutive work will
be encouraged by the authorities.
More productive organization of the system's activities requires
deepening and developing cooperation with the other law enforcement
agencies and other appropriate state structures. Such a tradition
has been already formed and it needs to be further developed.
The problem of providing the system with cadres of high moral traits,
professional knowledge and skills is of great importance. Within
this context the new way of hiring people on a competitive
applying by the leadership of the Office of Public Prosecutor is
welcome. Professionalism, honesty impartiality should be priorities
for every officer of the structure.
The state keeps in the spotlight problems the system faces and ways to
solve them. Appropriate steps have already been taken to improve your
work conditions and strengthen material and technical basis. Since
January 1 of the current year the salaries of the system officers
has substantially increased.
0D I would like to hope that the personnel of the Office of Public
Prosecutor will fulfill the tasks it has been assigned with whole
responsibility and will ensure supremacy of law, defend the interests
of the state and its citizen."
