PRESIDENT KOCHARYAN RESTORES JUSTICE
President Kocharyan introduced newly appointed Prosecutor General Aghvan
Hovsepyan to the office staff on Thursday.
Kocharyan said there is no need of special introducing as his nominee is
well-known in justice area: he worked at the post of Prosecutor General for
long years and has been dismissed not for mismanagement but because of
political situation in the country.
President said his move is motivated by desire to restore justice. “A real
professional, a strong and high-principled man”, Kocharyan said portraying
Hovsepyan. “I’ve known him since 1981, he has long worked in Nagorno
Karabakh”, Kocharyan added.
In his opinion, Prosecutor Office is increasingly loosing confidence and its
role as one of the most important institutions in the country.
In his words, the Prosecutor Office must be the key institution in combat
against corruption and other crimes. It should secure state property and
state interests.
“We expect more vigorous work from the new prosecutor”, Robert Kocharyan
said.
