It is a great honor for me to attend the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Human Rights Defender Institute. Today, on October 21, in his speech at the international conference dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Human Rights Defender Institute, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Alen Simonyan, said: "With the introduction of the Human Rights Institute, which took place 20 years ago, we had an important and democratic achievement in theory, but, as we all know, this institute, unfortunately, has not carried out the activities for which it was intended by the law for many years. Now, the RA Human Rights Protection Office is a completely independent structure, as mentioned by various international authoritative structures and their published reports.
According to the assessments of various authoritative structures, the field of human rights protection in the Republic of Armenia is now at a fairly high level, but we should not limit ourselves. with the achieved successes and we must do our best to ensure that the protection of human rights in the Republic of Armenia is at a higher and proper level.
Of course, the role and factor of law enforcement agencies is also important in this matter, but even if, for some reason, citizens have complaints about their actions in this or that matter, they should be sure that there is a structure that protects their rights under the Ministry of Human Rights.
Our government expects the support of the Human Rights Defender structure, so that everyone living in the Republic of Armenia can be convinced by their own example of the viability and reality of the constitutional provision that a person is the highest value.
Employees, I congratulate you again on this important day and wish you success in your responsible and important mission for the public.
Thank you.
