ArmInfo. The citizens of the Republic of Artsakh have the right and the moral necessity to be aware of the developments taking place in the republic and around it. Artsakh Human Rights Defender Gegham Stepanyan wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"Article 51 of the Constitution of Artsakh establishes the right of everyone to receive information about the activities of state bodies and local self-government bodies and officials. In order to ensure this right, legal acts that have lesser legal force also provide for the obligation of various state bodies to act publicly within limits. The citizens of the Republic of Artsakh have the right and the moral necessity to be aware of the developments taking place in and around Artsakh. This right also applies to such events, which are upcoming projects and are directly related to certain processes of organizing personal and public life (building roads and changing routes, providing the Internet, supplying energy and gas, conducting other means of communication, etc.)," Stepanyan noted.
He added that the inaction or passivity of the authorities in such matters increases the feeling of uncertainty among the population, causing additional anxiety and worry.
