Arpine Hovhannisyan to Rustam Badasyan: “You shouldn’t speak”

Among others, Minister of Justice Rustam Badasyan also condemned what happened to Judge Anna Danibekyan last evening. Anna Danibekyan is the judge examining the case of Robert Kocharyan.

Badasyan particularly said the following: “I strictly condemn the persecution and assault against Judge Anna Danibekyan of the first instance court of general jurisdiction of Yerevan. Such cases must be ruled out and strictly punished. I am aware that the Police have already instituted a criminal case in relation to this incident and that the suspect of the crime has already been apprehended. This should not happen in our reality. This is simply inadmissible.”

168.am asked former Minister of Justice Arpine Hovhannisyan to comment on Badasyan’s statement.

According to Hovhannisyan, that boy (Rustam Badasyan-G.S.) shouldn’t speak because, for instance, when he talks about the former corrupt regime, he has to remember that, according to rumors and improperly refuted news, he benefited from the former corrupt regime and was exempt from military service.

“He shouldn’t speak because it is clear that, during his studies, he listened, but didn’t master the knowledge about human and professional values and is only characterized as narcissistic,” Arpine Hovhannisyan said.

According to the former justice minister, politically speaking, Rustam Badasyan has to keep silent because when he was saying that the demonstration to block the entrances to and exists from courts was lawful and was speaking as the author of a package of embarrassing laws on bribery and the bearer of this ideology, he shouldn’t be surprised when such incidents take place.

“As your Prime Minister says, keep calm, sit down and be quiet,” Arpine Hovhannisyan concluded, addressing the current justice minister.
