OMBUDSMAN’S ANNUAL REPORT IS REPRESENTED TO RA PRESIDENT

YEREVAN, APRIL 1, NOYAN TAPAN. Larisa Alaverdian, the RA Ombudswoman,
represented to the President of the Republic the 2004 annual report
about her activity and the situation of human rights and main freedoms
in the country. L.Alaverdian will represent it also to the National
Assembly during the autumn sittings. As Noyan Tapan was informed from
the RA Ombudsman’s Staff Information and Public Relations Department,
the estimations, the conclusions and the suggestions, composed in the
report, are based both on the applications received from the
complainers and on the studies and observations made on own
initiative. According to the information, being the first one, this
report has no approve to reflect all possible displays of human rights
violations, especially that a four-month period is very little for
such a wide inclusion. It was also mentioned that the estimations in
the report, in some cases, cannot coincide with estimations of
separate public groups. “However, these estimations come to prove that
the RA, the inheritor of a country having history of thousands of
years, has irretrievably chosen the way of building a democratic,
social and legal country, among the evidence of which is the creation
of the Ombudsman’s Office.
