Suren Khachatryan is under the patronage of the state - says Artur Sakunts (video)
Irresponsible, inhumane, cynical attitude towards our citizens… This is how human rights activist Artur Sakunts labels the government’s decision to return former governor of Syunik province Surik Khachatryan to the position. He says the appointment was well-planned and kept in secret and therefore cannot be grounded. Evidently, Surik Khachatryan is under the patronage of the state. “There are crimes that have not been disclosed yet. Surik Khachatryan and the political elite participated in them. They are connected with such strong threads that resemble Siamese twins, who cannot live without each other,” said Mr Sakunts. He calls attention to the fact that a person suspected of a criminal offense has been appointed to a top position. “This promotes impunity and sets an example for other governors and officials that they can commit crimes - grave crimes - and go unpunished,” said the human rights activist.
