OFFICIALS WILL BE TRIED IN CASE OF HIDING DOCUMENTS

Today two deputy Ministers of the RA legislative structures on the
initiative of the «Liberation processes monitoring national center»
represented to the journalists their opinions about the transparency of the
activity of state bodies and accessibility of information.

Deputy Minister of Justice Tigran Mukuchyan found raising of public
awareness extremely important. According to him, the defense of rights
starts from the corresponding document. The RA Law on «Bureaucratism and
Administrative principles» has been processes and has entered into vigor. It
establishes the allotting of documents to the citizens as the duty of the
state bodies.

According to the RA deputy Attorney General, the trying of officials for not
allotting documents is not a solution of the problem. «As far as we do not
have administrative courts, the problem cannot be solved», said Mr.
Danielyan. Tigran Mukuchyan added that the Administrative Court is the
structure where not the citizen, but the official must bring proofs.
