YEREVAN. – Armenia’s Human Rights Defender, Karen Andreasyan, on Wednesday applied to the three renowned international organizations in which the ombudsmen of both Armenia and Moldova are members. 

Andreasyan called upon the International Ombudsman Institute, the European Ombudsman Institute, and the Association of Francophone Ombudsmen and Arbitrators, to no longer invite Moldovan parliamentary advocate Aurelia Grigoriu to their international conferences.

As per Armenia’s defender of human rights, Grigoriu has discredited herself with her lies and unacceptable conduct.  

In addition, Karen Andreasyan conveyed to the Moldovan parliament his demand and legal justification for the dismissal of Aurelia Grigoriu.     

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, during last week’s international forum that was held in Armenia’s capital city Yerevan, Grigoriu had said: “Armenia has occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan’s territories committing genocide against Azerbaijanis.”

This statement caused a negative reaction in Armenia and in Moldova, alike. The statement was condemned and it was considered a provocation aimed at exacerbating the situation.    

In addition, the Armenian community of Moldova informed about its intention to formally demand from the Moldovan parliament the remove Aurelia Grigoriu from office.
