Heritage Party representative to file a complaint to PACE against official Yerevan

PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage Parliamentary Faction representative, CE Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) RA Delegation member Zaruhi Postangyan addressed a letter to PACE Monitoring Committee Head Serhi Kholovati, expressing her dissatisfaction with fulfillment manner of PACE recommendations, worked out for Armenia on the basis of resolution on last year's March events.



"Prosecutor General's Office and RA judicial authority failed to organize a fair judicial procedure on March disorders, resulting in 10 people's death and 200 being injured. Moreover, the authorities are reluctant to start serious investigation on these tragic events," the letter says.



In her letter Zaruhi Postangyan reminded that court verdicts were given based on police officers evidence. She also reminded that until now, RA President hasn't used his constitutional right to grant amnesty to those involved in March events, like PACE recommendations advised.





In conclusion, Zaruhi Postangyan noted that ''imperfections in RA Election Code, pressure towards Media representatives, lack of free speech and restrictions in meetings and rallies' organization, set a foundation for unfair, unequal and non-transparent elections into Yerevan Council of Elders.''
