“When two years ago Gevorg Kostanyan was appointed Military Prosecutor, he had not yet managed to convince the public that he was going to work within the law and meet the requirements of citizens. I mean, especially in military affairs, which is the function of this structure.
He, indeed, did not fulfill this work, which the military prosecutor was supposed to do, that is, facilitate the execution of justice. This does not imply that he should be appointed General Prosecutor of Armenia”, – said the chairwoman of the “Journalists for Human Rights” NGO Zhanna Alexanyan, in the conversation with Aravot.am, interpreting the nomination of Gevorg Kostanyan for the position of the Prosecutor General of Armenia. Moreover, our interlocutor believes that the nomination discredited the reputation of Kostanyan that has never existed with regard to the crime committed near the house of former governor of Syunik. “He did the order of the authorities. In other words, he showed that he will be serving for the government, rather than for the justice. The explanations that he was giving that four days after the incident, he had a lot of evidence to publicly assume Liska’s protection, it is absolutely not a justification. As a supervising prosecutor, he was committed to prove to the public that the death was really the result of necessary, if it is, of course, so.
This case was supposed to enter the court and the public should see that it really is so. In fact, it was not the case. After all these, he could not be appointed for the position of the Prosecutor General of Armenia. He is a man, who has apparently concealed the willful murder, now he is going to assume the office of the Attorney General.” According to Zhanna Alexanyan, be nominating George Kostanyan, Serzh Sargsyan openly tells the public that he will appoint the person who is doing his commands. Our interlocutor does not see another consideration here.
