As it is mentioned in our statement, the Defender’s Office currently conducts a comprehensive study of the subject.
At the same time, it should be noted that the annual reports of the Human Rights Defender have always raised serious human rights violations. The fundamental violations have also been recorded in Arman Tatoyan's reports (reports on the events of July 2016, on the state of human rights in psychiatric institutions, on health care in penitentiary institutions, etc.).
Moreover, in 2008, Arman Tatoyan directly participated in the preparation of the Human Rights Defender's report on the events of March 1st, managed the preparation of the reports on the property right of the residents of Northern Avenue, as well as on the right to a fair trial related to the March 1st cases.
Taking into account above mentioned, it is clear from yesterday's announcement that the Defender’s position on transitional justice was merely a preliminary assessment of that phenomenon in general.
Moreover, the same announcement also discusses the problems in the judicial system, as well as speaks about not paying proper attention to them before.
