If a person fails to perform his duties, he must resign immediately (video)
I do not want to focus on the phenomenon of ‘freedom fighters,’ Ashot Bleyan, director of "Mkhitar Sebastatsi" educational complex, said on Feb. 11 in connection with the incident that occurred in Berdzor last month. “Those were citizens who were heading to Artsakh for certain purposes. They were subjected to violence on the way and now they should be compensated for moral and material damages,” said Mr Bleyan. He says what happened near Berdzor on January 31 was in violation of human rights and ‘any trade at the expense of human rights is unacceptable.’ On January 31, scores of activists representing the Founding Parliament opposition movement, a successor of the Pre-parliament pressure group, organized an automobile march to Nagorno-Karabakh as part of their campaign seeking a regime change in Armenia. Near Berdzor, they were stopped by local police and a group of plainclothes men who forcefully blocked their access to the territory of Karabakh. A number of activists, including Jirayr Sefilyan, a Karabakh war veteran and a former commander of the Shushi special detachment, were beaten up during the incident. Also, some vehicles of the automobile march were damaged. Ashot Bleyan also spoke about the kidnapping and beating of Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) member Artak Khachatryan and said Artak was his pupil. “But his personality does not matter. A man was beaten up in broad daylight and law enforcement agencies are obliged to disclose the incident. What is the role of the law enforcement system? If a person fails to perform his duties and identify similar incidents, he must resign immediately,” said Mr Bleyan. Artak Khachatryan was attacked at around 12, February 9, in the neighbourhood of an entertainment centre in Yerevan. Three armed men wearing masks forced Khachatryan into a car and drove away with him. Later, Khachatryan was found unconscious, near his home. A criminal case has been filed in connection with the incident. An investigation is underway.
