Heritage party condemns political persecution of its member

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.”
