Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan made a statement, which says:

“During one of the actions, there was a speech, in which calls to use weapons to solve issues and calls for an armed coup were made. Immediately after that, one of the leaders of the opposition already stressed in his speech that violence is inadmissible, the issues should be resolved only in a constitutional way, and nevertheless, what is described is a highly reprehensible and absolutely inadmissible phenomenon.

The organizers of the mass protests of the opposition these days must keep in mind that the opposition is also an institution of statehood, the state of human rights and solidarity in the country also depends on the opposition, so we must act accordingly.

The rule of law and the guarantee of human rights must be at the heart of all initiatives.

At the same time, law enforcement and other competent state bodies are obliged to ensure the rule of law both in their own actions and in the country, each within its own competence.”
