ARMENIAN PRESIDENT: MIRZOYAN FAILED TO DO TASK SET BEFORE HIM
Monday,
May 06
President Serzh Sargsyan today went to the Special Investigation
Service of Armenia where he introduced the new head of the Service,
Vahram Shahinian, to the staff. According to the presidential press
service, Serzh Sargsyan informed the employees of SIS about the
reasons for dismissing the former head Andranik Mirzoyan.
"The illegalities related to a criminal case became the cause of
Mirzoyan's dismissal, but the reasons were different. The reason is
that Andranik Mirzoyan failed to do the task set before him. I had
set the task of doing everything possible for the establishment of
the Special Investigation Service. The Special Investigation Service
should be established as an institutionally independent participant
in administering criminal justice. Unfortunately, it has not yet
happened. The Special Investigation Service should be composed
of highly dedicated, independent, well-qualified and objectively
thinking people. It should not be an executor of someone's will,"
the president said.
In his words, when speaking about law enforcement agencies, he
understands that employees of the Special Investigation Service are in
a most awkward position because in many cases, they have to investigate
criminal cases, in which their colleagues are involved. On the other
hand, according to the president, they should understand that it is
their calling, while those who are not prepared for this should not
work in the system.
"People, experts ready to face the truth are needed here, and if they
notice that the actions of their colleagues, relatives, or friends
hinder the course of our country and government bodies, they must
take measures," S. Sargsyan noted.
He underlined the importance of improving professional knowledge
and skills of employees of the preliminary investigation body. The
president expressed confidence that under the direction of the new
head Vahram Shahinian, the Special Investigation Service will become
an efficient establishment soon. According to S. Sargsyan, Vahram
Shahinian and any employee of the SIS may count on assistance of the
president and government.
