Armenia's Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan has urged three prestigious
international organizations that the ombudsmen of both Armenia and
Moldova are members of, not to invite Moldovan parliamentary advocate
Aurelia Grigoriu to their international conferences anymore.
In an appeal addressed to the International Ombudsman Institute,
the European Ombudsman Institute, and the Association of Francophone
Ombudsmen and Arbitrators, Andreasyan said that Grigoriu discredited
herself with her 'lies and unacceptable conduct' during a
European-level event in Yerevan last week.
Grigoriu, one of the delegates attending the conference on European
standards for the rule of law that was organized by the Council
of Europe in the Armenian capital on July 4-5, delivered a speech
in the Armenian parliament hosting the event accusing Armenia of
continuing the 'occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory'
and of having committed a 'genocide' against the Azerbaijani people
during the 1992-1994 war in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Her statements drew an angry response from both the Armenian hosts of
the event and many international delegates attending it. Eventually,
the Moldovan representative herself had to answer questions about her
pro-Azerbaijani stance and whether she had been paid for advancing
Azeri propaganda during an unrelated event in Yerevan.
In his Wednesday statement the Armenian ombudsman also conveyed to
the Moldovan parliament his demand and legal justification for the
dismissal of Grigoriu.
