    Armenia's penal institutions are serious business units serving the
    incumbent regime. It is no coincidence that the Armenian Minister of
    Justice and chiefs of penal institutions rank among millionaires,
    the former political prisoner, Chairman of the Democratic Homeland
    Party Petros Makeyan stated at a panel discussion "Political views
    in Armenia."

    He pointed out that political prisoners are not at all protected in
    Armenia. Moreover, their fate is "in the king pins' hands."

    "They are doing their best to earn as much money as possible -- this
    is the real worth of Armenia's penal institutions. Especially now
    that this wolf Ashot Giziryan is ordering about there," Makeyan said.

    In his turn, the former minister of foreign affairs and political
    prisoner Alexander Arzumanyan said: "At present, Armenia's judicial
    system is a criminal gang performing punitive functions."

    The former political prisoner Grigor Voskerchyan pointed out that "lazy
    and illiterate investigators" are working at Armenia's prosecutor's
    offices. "It was only two months after I was arrested that trumped
    up charges were brought against me," he said. Voskerchyan added that
    investigators are "reluctant to probe or prove, but they only plant
    bugs and then bring charges against you."
