HERITAGE PARTY CONDEMNS POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF ITS MEMBER
18:19 ~U 04.10.13
Spokesman for Heritage party Hovsep Khurshudyan made a statement
condemning his fellow-member Zaruhi Postnjyan's "political
persecution."
"Defending Zaruhi Postanjyan's right to freedom of speech, we condemn
the authorities-launched persecution campaign against her, which
is unacceptable.
"Instead of giving diplomatic lessons (of which they may be unaware),
the authorities must be grateful for the fact that at least someone
reminds them of their responsibility. And if they want to divest
Mrs Postanjyan of the right to questions, they are thus fueling the
public's doubts about the authorities' disposition to gambling, on the
basis of media reports. The steps against Mrs Postanjyan, accompanied
by insults have actually caused more problems than her own question.
"The point is that the actions forcing thousands of Armenian citizens
to lose hope and emigrate - the rigged elections, numerous violations
of human rights, Armenian-Turkish protocols, which are a blow on
our national interests - are the result of a special approach to
gambling at the expense of the state sovereignty, Constitution and
the country's citizens."
"The Heritage party will continue its consistent struggle for the
protection of human rights and national interests in the Republic of
Armenia, legitimate elections and government officials' accountability
to the public."
