The fact that the secret recording of a conversation between Vartan
Oskanian and Levon Zurabyan has appeared on the internet has caused
serious discussion in recent days. Different groups of society make
different comments on this fact - struggle against the opposition,
an action against concrete people.
Vardan Harutyunyan, the director of the Center for Freedom and
Rights, called this action "prosecutable" during a conversation
with www.aravot.am and went into detail: "Certainly, it is illegal,
when what people say is recorded without informing them in advance or
without a warrant. This testifies to the fact that there is no rule
of law in the Republic of Armenia. They secretly record, put it on
the internet, and no one - I am talking about the government - wants
to launch an investigation. It is obvious who the authors of this
are. It is a great pity that such a thing is possible in Armenia,
that the government of the Republic of Armenia works in that style
and tries to struggle against the opposition that way."
V. Harutyunyan said during a conversation with us that what had
happened was not a coincidence, since it was not the first time. He
concluded: "This is a prosecutable deed and should be punished
properly, and it will be punished in the future, if not today."
