Transitional justice will not contradict the RA constitution and Armenia’s obligations under conventions and treaties. This was stated by Minister of Justice Artak Zeynalyan, referring to the statement made by RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the rally on August 17.


“No provision of the constitution will be suspended,” Zeynalyan stressed at the meeting with journalists. According to him, transitional justice will be called to restore human rights.


As the minister mentioned, the transitional justice will be a support structure by the bodies performing executive function in some cases where there were shortcomings in terms of examining the issue of violation of rights.


The existing judicial system will continue to solve the issues in a judicial manner, said Zeynalyan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
