Announcement about the Suspension of PD’s Activity in the Public Monitoring Working Group of the Investigative Committee of Armenia
We declare that our organization will continue its activities aimed at the protection of the rights of servicemen who have died in non-combat situations during their military service. We will continue using other platforms and other measures as established by law. This is because the absence of legally-based approaches and mechanisms, alongside the System’s inability to rid itself of corruption, hinders and distorts our organization’s mission when carrying out Group activities.
Statement of the Public Monitoring Working Group Studying Non-Combat Fatality Cases During the Military Service in the RA Military Forces
Considering the unclear perceptions formed about the principles and objectives of the activities of Public Monitoring Working Group, we find it necessary to make a statement.
