ArmInfo.The Resistance Movement held a protest in front of the EU Delegation to Armenia, in Yerevan.
The protesters were holding a big poster with the pictures of Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia, Ambassador Andrea Wiktorin and the former head of the Judicial Council of Armenia Gagik Jhangiryan. The protesters were also holding the photos of the Armenian servicemen who are in captivity in Azerbaijan now. They were chanting "Armenia without Nikol!"
One of the Resistance Movement leaders Aram Vardevanyan stated that the poster is not a mere coincident: it was Gagik Jhangiryan who was behind the judicial reforms and arbitrary actions in the judicial system, with Ms Wiktorin's tacit consent. In particular, she has no so far voiced her opinion on the scandalous audio record of Mr Jhangiryan's talk with the dismissed head of the Supreme Judicial Council Ruben Vardazaryan.
The opposition MP is indignant at the fact the EU Delegation is not responding to the lawlessness inside Armenia and disregarding the processes along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
"Over a year and a half our nationals in captivity in Azerbaijan have been tortured in Baku prisons. Does not Europe have anything to say? Are these the values you are advocating? And what about human rights and freedoms?" Mr Vardevanyan said.
The opposition MP Gegham Manukyan drew the participants' attention to the fact that the EU ambassador is silently witnessing human rights violations in Armenia – political persecutions, "violence against courts."
