Artsakh’s Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) Ruben Melikyan has resigned.
Artsakh’s Human Rights Defender quits
STEPANAKERT, SEPTEMBER 26, ARTSAKHPRESS: “Yesterday, we publicized the Republic of Artsakh Human Rights Defender’s special report on the facts of Armenophobia in Azerbaijan, thus, basically concluding the fact-finding function we had started on the occasion of the April 2016 war,” Melikyan wrote, in particular, on Facebook. “After completing that task, I already reserve myself the right to implement the personal decision I made still one or two months ago; that is, submitting a resignation from the office of Artsakh Ombudsman.
“At present, I see myself outside the state system—in the domain of the function of human rights.”
