Ombudsman of Armenia Karen Andreasyan has disseminated a statement
wherein he condemns attacks on political figures.
"I am seriously concerned over the incidents of the last days,
particularly, burning of cars and beatings," Andreasyan says in the
statement. He says the Human Rights Defender's Office stands ready
to launch a process as soon as it receives relevant complaints by
the sufferers.
"Anyway, the inquiry into the incidents will be in the focus of
our attention. I hope, the law-enforcement will act operatively and
impartially to expose and punish the criminals. The public must be
sure that those guilty will be punished and the threats to security
and safety of the citizens are liquidated," he said.
The unknown burned cars of four oppositionists lately, beaten up
three Artsakh War veterans who harshly criticized the authorities,
and attacked oppositionist parliamentarian Aram Manukyan overnight. All
these people blame the authorities for what happened to them.
