The European Court of Human Rights decided that the Republic of Armenia
must pay 2500 euros to advocate Vahe Grigoryan. The prosecution lasting
since 2005 infringes his right to fair trial because 7 years is not a
reasonable period for proceedings, and the state must pay 2500 euros
to the advocate for infringing his right.
Vahe Grigoryan told Radio Liberty that he will make sure that the
fine is compensated by those officials whose decisions infringed his
rights, imposing a 2500 euro fine on Armenia.
This is a very important initiative.
The ECtHR makes a number of decisions on applications of the citizens
of Armenia, and Armenia has to pay fines of thousands of euros for
wrong court rulings or other decisions. Soon the amount of these fines
will reach hundreds of thousands because Armenia continues to violate
human rights and the citizens, not getting protection in their own
country~Rs courts, finally apply to the ECtHR.
As a result, due to a decision by a judge, policeman, detective,
prosecutor or other official the citizen of the Republic of Armenia
of Armenia, the taxpayers will have to pay because the pocket of the
state is the pocket of the taxpayer, the pocket of the underprivileged,
poor, homeless families, hungry and sick children.
And there are so much poverty that even an assistance of 1000 euros
could be of great importance to a family or a child. Instead of
paying fines for a wrong decision by a government official the life
of a child, their children could be saved.
Consequently, Vahe Grigoryan~Rs initiative, if pursued, will help
compensate the damage to the state budget. It will be a precedent
which will make a judge, prosecutor, any other official to check the
legal grounds before making a decision not to have to pay from his
or her pocket later.
If there are supporters of real reforms in the government of Armenia,
they should support Veha Grigoryan~Rs initiative. Vahe Grigoryan~Rs
initiative may act as an indicator for the public administration
sector, at the same time being a functional and viable mechanism for
improving the public administration system.
