"There is a situation in Armenia where restrictions on the freedom of speech and human rights are put on everyone regardless of their status," lawmaker from opposition "I have Honour" faction Anna Mkrtchyan stated on Friday during a discussion entitled "Toward dictatorship. Setback from rights."

In the words of Anna Mkrtchyan, the main tools used by the acting leaders of Armenia serve to establish favorable environment for them through pressures and even physical violence. 

"The authorities do not conceal there is no separation of power in the country. The judicial and court processes in Armenia do not proceed in line with Constitutional provisions and legislation. Authorities openly state they have no limitations to exercise their will and power to launch prosecutions no matter there are grounds for that or not. The closure of the topic of pluralism in Armenia will prolong the rule of these leaders as they managed to come to power though manipulations, lies and falsehoods and they are able to form a society incapable for resistance to poser no danger to their rule," said Mkrtchyan.
