Andriasian ready to review lawfulness of Hyrikian-related decision
“If an Armenian citizen asks the Human Rights Defender Office to review the lawfulness of the government decision about allocation of 20.5 million AMD for Paruyr Hayrikian’s treatment abroad, we are ready to do it,” Human Rights Defender Karen Andriasian declared at the meeting with reporters today.
He said that although the abovementioned decision can be considered a biased approach, nevertheless, the government has the right to take such decisions so the decision related to Hayrikian was not made in gross violation of the law.
Andriasian added that recently their Office has been busy preparing annual reports and had no time to examine the issue and give a legal assessment.
