ArmInfo. A search in the house of the leader of the Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan, further interrogations and publication of information on several criminal cases involving Tsarukyan attracted public attention. This is stated in the statement of a number of public organizations of Armenia.
According to the source, issues of the rule of law, the fight against corruption in Armenia and the style of work of the authorities have again become the focus of public attention. In a statement, in particular, it is noted: <Prior to the 2018 revolution, human rights activists and journalists repeatedly reported violations committed during the elections in Armenia. And also that the oligarchs in Armenia illegally privatize property and, under the guise of a parliamentary majority, seek certain privileges.
These are systemic phenomena and should be investigated, after which they should be given a systemic solution. The lack of judicial reform is fraught with serious consequences. Thus, we urge the authorities to apply the best international experience, use the full potential of Armenia's ties with international experts and introduce a system of transitional justice in the country. Citizens of the country should also be duly informed of this. It must be realized that delayed reforms and partial changes cannot contribute to the establishment of justice in the country>.
