Prosperous Armenia Party to nominate its candidate for Ombudsman

Prosperous Armenia Party to nominate its candidate for Ombudsman

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, ARMENPRESS. National Assembly’s the "Rule of Law" Party (RLP) will protect MP Zaruhi Postanjyan’s candidacy in the Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs. The MP from the “Rule of Law” Party Hovhannes Margaryan said about this during the briefing at the National Assembly. “We have discussed the issue; we’ve talked to Mrs. Postanjayn as well. Our Faction made a decision to protect Zaruhi Postanjyan’s nomination”, “Armenpress” reports the MP said. According to him Zaruhi Postanjyan is a principled politician, besides she is a woman, so if she’s elected gender issues will be solved.

Secretary of Rule of Law Faction Mher Shahgeldyan stressed that Zaruhi Postanjyan has experience of many years in the field of human rightsprotection, cooperating with the civil society.

Head of Prosperous Armenia Party Naira Zurabyan announced that they will nominate their own candidate for the Ombudsman. “Yesterday we discussed the issue in the party and decided to nominate Makat Eghiazaryan. Maybe his name in not well-known, but he is a professional young man, who has an experience in working at international institutions. Likewise youth representatives can properly implement the activities of the main human rights defender of our country”, Naira Zurabyan said.

In response to the question, why they don’t defend Zaruhi Postanjyan's candidacy, the MP presented her own approach. “The ombudsman must be as impartial as possible. Respecting the principle of Zaruhi Postanjyan, I, however, think that the Ombudsman should be neither stressed radical nor stressed government figure” Zohrabyan mentioned adding that the person should not be politicized in this position.

Aghvan Vardanyan from Armenian Revolutionary Federation announced that he promised to vote for Zaruhi Postanjyan if she is among the candidates.

Armenian National Congress leader Levon Zurabyan noticed that he is for Zaruhi Postanjayn in Ombudsman’s position, but they haven’t decided whether they will participate in the elections or not.

Members of Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs must submit the applications of their candidates on elections for the Ombudsman’s post until February 9.
