"Dear compatriots!!!!"
Today, I have been elected as the chairperson of the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Human Rights Protection and Public Affairs.
This position is a constitutional mandatory authority for the opposition candidate's nomination / the opposition has the right to be elected proportionally and to be part of the leadership bodies of the National Assembly /:
First of all, I want to thank my political team, the ARF – Dashnaktsutyun and the Armenia faction for nominating me for this crucial position of committee chair.
Naturally, my political assessments regarding the reality in Armenia and the severe situation of Human Rights have not changed.
We view our work in the Standing Committee on Human Rights Protection and Public Affairs of the National Assembly as a service, a platform, and a toolkit that will try to bring decisive changes to the reality in Armenia and mitigate the prevailing violations and the atmosphere of impunity in the country.
I consider the committee not only as a body that discusses bills and responds to violations but also as a proactive parliamentary tool that implements systemic oversight of human rights.
In Armenia, not only must the inalienable rights of individuals, constitutional norms, and the rule of law be guaranteed, but their realization must also be ensured.
Human dignity is the supreme value.
My activities will be inclusive, meaning the involvement of the professional community, civil society, and broad segments of the public, as well as close cooperation with international human rights organizations.
My priorities are
The return of Armenian prisoners of war held in Baku,
The protection of the rights of political prisoners and the exclusion of politically motivated persecutions,
The natural rights of Artsakh Armenians protected by international law:
Towards a more viable country, where the political, social, and cultural rights of all citizens of the Republic of Armenia / national minorities / are protected, a country capable of safeguarding the rights and legitimate interests of all citizens of the Republic of Armenia.
"FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS!"
