Arman Tatoyan to Vagharshak Hakobyan: Don`t you ever threaten the Ombudsman of Armenia!

Arminfo, Armenia

ArmInfo.The next scandal with the participation of MP from the "My Step" bloc Vagharshak Hakobyan and Armenian Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan nearly flared up in the Armenian parliament. The parliamentary correspondent of ArmInfo reported this.   It all started with the fact that Hakobyan began to criticize the  report of the Ombudsman. In particular, the MP did not like the fact  that the Ombudsman devoted little attention to the rights of women in  the report. 

<You just noted that a woman is a person who also has a sense of  dignity. This wording is not acceptable.  Moreover, I believe that  this position is much more suitable for the beginning of the 20th  century, but not for the 21st. After the "velvet revolution" in  Armenia, we have achieved significant successes in connection with  women's rights, "the MP emphasized.

Then the latter began to develop his thought and indicate to the  Ombudsman what he should have indicated in his report what could be  omitted and what should be given special attention.  In turn, Arman  Tatoyan noted that no one has the right to talk with the Ombudsman of  Armenia from a position of power. <From now on, never dare to raise  your voice at me and do not try to threaten me. There are all the  necessary mechanisms to bring you to legal liability. Among other  things, you don't even know that the Human Rights Defender does not  work under parliamentary regulations. And finally, I want to note  that in my report a special department is devoted to women's rights  from 597 to 638 pages. I have nothing to discuss with you>, the  Ombudsman concluded.

“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
