AURELIA GRIGORIU'S STATEMENT NOT IN LINE WITH MOLDOVA'S POSITION
July 11, 2013 | 13:29
YEREVAN. - Statements made by ombudsman Aurelia Grigoriu contradict
Moldova's position, chairman of the Commission on Protection of Human
Rights Vadim Mishin said.
During the meeting, commission members stated the statement by
parliamentary advocate was politicized and is unacceptable.
"We understand how wrong was Grigoriu's speech in which she gave
legal assessment of the Armenian and Azerbaijani side, instead of
talking about human rights in Moldova," Publika.md quotes Mishin.
He said no one banned anyone from expressing his/her opinion but it
must be professional and depoliticized. Contrary to this, Grigoriu's
speech was unprofessional, Mishin said.
"You can not pull the pieces of the whole document. If it is a UN
document, it should be studied as a whole, and not out of context,
which may play a negative role," he added.
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.
