YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 10, NOYAN TAPAN. Ijevan Passport Department of RA
Police Passport and Visa Department refused to provide a certificate
to Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper's editor-in-chief, Armenian National
Congress (ANC) Central Office member Nikol Pashinian on permanently
residing in Armenia over the past five years.
Touching upon the mentioned fact ANC declared on November 9 that this
step of the Police is illegal and "it is obvious that in this case the
Police carried out a regular political order of the regime." According
to ANC, such a gross violation of the Constitution and the law is
bright evidence of regime's weakness and fear, which it is in no way
able to overcome. It is mentioned that the Armenian National Congress
will pursue restoration of N. Pashinian's rights and as the first
step the rejection of the Police Passport and Visa Department will
be appealed against at the Administrative Court.
In connection with the mentioned fact Nor Zhamanakner (New Times)
party Board's November 10 statement mentioned that the ruling regime
made an instrument the RA Police Passport and Visa Department with
its subdivisions and periodically settles a political score with
political figures undesirable for the authorities by depriving them
of the possibility to be elected NA deputy or RA President. "This
illegal activity of this structure of the law enforcement system
in fact delivers a serious blow to our state security, especially
when documents provided by it can cause serious problems with other
countries," MZ statement read.
