ARMENIA'S OMBUDSMAN PETITIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS CONCERNING MOLDOVAN PARLIAMENTARY ADVOCATE
July 10, 2013 | 16:20
YEREVAN. - Armenia's Human Rights Defender, Karen Andreasyan, on
Wednesday applied to the three renowned international organizations
in which the ombudsmen of both Armenia and Moldova are members.
Andreasyan called upon the International Ombudsman Institute, the
European Ombudsman Institute, and the Association of Francophone
Ombudsmen and Arbitrators, to no longer invite Moldovan parliamentary
advocate Aurelia Grigoriu to their international conferences.
As per Armenia's defender of human rights, Grigoriu has discredited
herself with her lies and unacceptable conduct.
In addition, Karen Andreasyan conveyed to the Moldovan parliament his
demand and legal justification for the dismissal of Aurelia Grigoriu.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, during last week's
international forum that was held in Armenia's capital city Yerevan,
Grigoriu had said: "Armenia has occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's
territories committing genocide against Azerbaijanis."
This statement caused a negative reaction in Armenia and in Moldova,
alike. The statement was condemned and it was considered a provocation
aimed at exacerbating the situation.
In addition, the Armenian community of Moldova informed about its
intention to formally demand from the Moldovan parliament the remove
Aurelia Grigoriu from office.
