The Institute for Human Rights and Democracy issued a statement, which
in particular runs that no armed forces have the right to intervene
in internal-governmental affairs in the political and civil territory.
The Institute for Human Rights and Democracy condemns the amendments
to the Law on the Legal Basis for State of Emergency signed hurryingly
by the president on April 13. The use of the army in internal affairs
contradicts the Armenian Constitution. The function of the Armenian
army is to defend the country from external attacks, instead of being
used as a repressive measure in the home life.
The Organization calls on the Armenian people, the civil
forces and structures, to issue a public statement condemning
the anti-Constitutional law demanding to change it ensuring the
independence and neutrality of the Army in the home affairs of the
country.
