"Zurabyan-Oskanyan", "Edik Minasyan" "operations": the constitutional norm is violated in both cases

A few days ago a record was widely used in the press, which was made in the post-election period, when the Dean of YSU History Faculty Edik Minasyan told the students that if one of them or the lecturers participated in the demonstrations, he would be removed from the university.

And to the question of one of the students: "Is it my constitutional right?" Minasyan said: "What is a constitutional right?".

Lurer.com talked about this with Edik Minasyan, who described the record as an organized provocation.

Intense discussions around the record began in Facebook,too. All accused Dean of articulated thoughts and described it as a restriction of freedom of rights and violation of constitutional order.

If even consider the fact that the sounded words in the record is really a gross violation of the Constitution, however, it is a gross violation of the collection, storage and dissemination of information without the knowledge or consent individual, if it is inconsistent with the objective of collecting information or required by law.

Just a month ago, when the Internet added wiretapping private meeting of the Parliamentary Leader of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, the deputy from the party of "Prosperous Armenia" Oskanyan, everyone started talking about it taht it was a violation of the constitutional and criminal law, refused to comment on the main conversation and turned to tapping.

Nevertheless, the Dean's record is on the Internet, and discussions are ongoing. Merely clear: in both cases there was a gross violation of constitutional norms. Let us, and this time do not apply to ideas voiced in the record, thus showing respect for the Constitution.

Note that the 23rd article of the Constitution states: "The collection, storage, use and dissemination of information about the private life of a person without his or her consent is not permitted."

And the 142nd article of the Criminal Code provides: "Everyone has the right of privacy of correspondence, telephone conversations, postal, telegraph and other messages. A limitation of this right can be allowed only by court order. "
