"Heritage" Party demands publication of archives of Police and  National Security Service 

ArmInfo. Heritage Party welcomes actions of certain ministers of the new government aimed at revelation of violations and frauds registered during their  predecessors, the statement of the Party reads.

At this background  the Party criticizes the work of Police and National Security  Service, which according to the Party, have focused only on  disclosure of economic crimes remaining blind to violations and  unlawfulness, that were not long ago common in the ministries they  head now. ''Why do the heads of Police and NSS remain blind to  illegal persecution of opposition representatives by order of former  ruling regime, participation in electoral frauds and pressure on  opposition members of electoral commission during elections?'', the  statement reads.  

In this regard the Party calls on the new government and personally  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to ensure that the National Security  Service and the Police fully and not selectively fulfill their  obligations to reveal crimes and establish rule of law in the  country. "As a first step on this way, we suggest publishing the  archives of these structures regarding the political persecutions  that have been carried out." The Party also proposes to return to  parliament a bill on lustration, developed by it back in 2011.  "However, we realize that legitimate parliamentary elections must be  held and a legitimate parliament must be formed before the return and  adoption of this document, but the publication of the archives of the  National Security Service and the Police and the initiation of  criminal cases on the basis of these materials fit only into the  goodwill of the current government," the statement reads. 

The authors of the statement believe that it is impossible to form  servants of law enforcement structures and hold legitimate elections  while the police and NSS are working with yesterday's falsifiers and  persecutors of the opposition.

At the same time, Heritage party claims that it supports the new  government of Armenia, despite this, it will always raise the  problems urgent for the people and demand their speedy resolution.
