On Monday, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan held a meeting with
law-enforcers at the RA Prosecutor General's Office.
The meeting discussed problems of preliminary investigation in Armenia.
Pointing out some progress in the prosecutor offices' work, the
Armenian leader, on the other hand, was strongly critical of some
public prosecutors.
The Prosecutor's Office is among the government bodies that are
able to produce positive results. Evidence thereof is Armenia's
cooperation with international agencies in money laundering and
trafficking control. The Military Prosecutor's Office has somewhat
improved its activities as well, President Serzh Sargsyan.
These examples are evidence that honest public prosecutors are well
aware of their mission for the benefit of society and state, the
Armenian leader said.
On the other hand, President Serzh Sargsyan pointed out facts of
abuse by some public prosecutors and stressed he does not see fierce
struggle against negative phenomena.
The president spoke of people's complaints about law-enforcers. In
some cases, law-enforcers conceal the crimes or even trump up charges
against innocent persons. "I cannot imagine a more immoral conduct
on a law-enforcer's part," Serzh Sargsyan said.
The Armenian leader mentioned a number of gross violations of law
and acts of hooliganism committed by Armenian public prosecutors.
In this context, President Serzh Sargsyan stated he expects the RA
Prosecutor General to draw necessary conclusions.
"I demand that each of you be responsible. We will certainly discuss
the quality of investigation and concrete facts recorded in the first
three months of this year," the Armenian president said.
