Armenia: Selective Justice

The Armenian Observer comments on speculation about the future of deputy defense minister Manvel Grigorian and asks if punishment is handed out only to those officials who backed the former president, Levon Ter-Petrossian. Although former General and MP Seyran Saroyan is given as an example of the authorities acting with impunity even though he actually backed Ter-Petrossian as well, the question of the selective enforcement of law remains as true as it ever did under the former, present and next president.
