INTENTION OF ARMENIAN DM TO JOIN REPUBLICAN PARTY IS CONTRARY TO CONSTITUTION

Yerevan, July 17. ArmInfo. The statement of Armenian Defence Minister
Serzh Sargsyan that he is going to join the Republican Party of
Armenia is contrary to the law on parties and the Constitution,
says the Human Rights 96 party.

For the first time in the history of Armenia Sargsyan has violated
the principle of the army’s political neutrality. His decision is a
blow on the national security of Armenia. Nobody can interpret laws
the way he wants – everybody is equal before law.

To remind, July 14 Sargsyan publicly stated that he had already
applied for joining the RPA.
