Ombudsman’s Letter to RA President

OMBUDSMAN’S LETTER TO RA PRESIDENT

RA Human Rights Defender Larisa Alaverdyan sent a letter to Armenian
President Robert Kocharyan. The letter says, in part:

`The RA Ombudsman considers that presently a number of operating laws
contain clauses, whose correspondence to the Constitution can be
seriously questioned. The matter concerns some articles of the RA law
`On Social Insurance Cards’. The citizens have sent a great number of
complaints. They claim that the dependence of conclusion of labor
contracts, receiving of salary and other payments of the availability
of social cards conflicts with the Organic Law of the republic.

Since the Constitution does not provide for the Ombudsman’s right to
appeal to the Constitutional Court, the Human Rights Defender hopes
that it will be the President to appeal to the CC to clarify the
correspondence of the law `On Social Insurance Cards’ to the
Constitution.’
