What happens is a personal terror against Hrayr Tovmasyan: human rights advocate
The courts must not obey to any political force, human rights advocate Avetik Ishkhanyan said at a discussion today, saying that the Armenian authorities have no intention to have independent courts.
Referring to the criminal proceedings against Hrayr Tovmasyan and summoning his family members to the NSS for interrogation, Ishkhanyan said that this issue does not relate to Hrayr Tovmasyan’s personality only.
“If Hrayr Tovmasyan obeyed the new authorities and made decisions they wanted him to, this persecutions would not have taken place. This is our reality, I cannot keep silence any longer. This is completely inadmissible and creates very dangerous situation. The year of 37 was terrible. What happens is a personal terror against Hrayr Tovmasyan,” Ishkhanyan said.
