Heghine Bisharyan: How could an unprotected ombudsman protect himself? (video)
At the end of 2015, the Armenian Ombudsman [Karen Andreasyan] presented a detailed and literate report, which led to his resignation, a lawmaker of the Country of Law Party (OEK) said in parliament on Monday,. Heghine Bisharyan says in his report the human rights defender spoke about all problems existing in the country, and his boisterous speech later resulted ‘in a war.’ “Instead of focusing on a person you had better speak about the evil phenomenon and the events taking place in our country. You say he was not protected, he did not have the daring… What did you do with political forces? Look at the events happening in the country? Did you expect the Ombudsman to fight against everything all alone? People cannot even fight against these phenomena with their armies how could he do it alone? What are you talking about? Even people with immunity could not resist this mess and defend themselves. How could an unprotected ombudsman protect himself?” she said. The ombudsman's yearend report is available here
