Garnik Danielan: The death of Arsen Gaborjain is the political responsibility of the authorities.
The former deputy of the National Assembly of Armenia, Gernik Danielan, referred to the death of Arsen Gaborjain, calling it the death of another political prisoner. According to him, the authorities bear the political responsibility for not preventing the death and ensuring the safety of his life.
Danielan noted that Gaborgian was only 46 years old and he ran in the local government elections of Stephanov from the powerful Armenia Party.
"It is unbearably painful that such young, patriotic and energetic people lose their lives."
- he wrote.
According to the former lieutenant, he and his colleagues have been talking openly for many years about the dismal state of the penitentiary institutions in Armenia, the lack of appropriate medical treatment, necessary medicines and fair conditions. A correctional institution should not become a place where a person is denied not only freedom, but also the basic opportunity to preserve health and life.
However, Danielan stressed, there is a more worrying issue - the problem of political persecutions, arrests and political prisoners in Armenia.
"How long will the political persecution last and who will be responsible for its consequences? ".
he asks.
Danielan also recalled the murder of the head of the Parker community, which took place in an atmosphere of permissiveness and impunity.
"We can no longer be silent. Our silence and tolerance for what is happening may cost new human lives."
- he warned.
"Who is responsible for the safety of a person's life and health in a place of detention? Who will answer if it turns out that this death could have been prevented?
- continued the former lieutenant.
He contacted the authorities:
"Not a day goes by without you bringing death and disaster to our country. You have been thirsty for blood for eight years. Leave so we can live! ".
