LARISA ALAVERDIAN: IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT WRITING LETTER TO COUNTRY
PRESIDENT IS VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION

YEREVAN, MACRH 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The human rights violation in Armenia
is of a regulated character. RA first Ombudsperson Larisa Alaverdian
expressed such an opinion at the March 16 discussion organized
by the civil national initiative. According to her, particularly,
the process of violating the property rights of the Buzand street
inhabitants was implemented in conditions of different levels of
cooperation of the authorities.

According to L.Alaverdian, sale of a property may be implemented only
in the case when a profit for the society exists. But in this case,
one may speak about sale with corresponding compensation, but not
about an obliged buy and sale, when owners haven’t even the right to
have their property estimated by an independent agent.

In the given case, people were obliged to sign an agreement on sale
from the money got of which they had to pay taxes, when no taxes are
paid from the money got in the case of compensation.

The former Ombudsperson mentioned that when making an attempt to
draw the country administration’s attention to all these, she wrote
a letter to the RA President, persuading the latters to address to
the Constitutional Court on that issue, a response was got in which
she was accused of violating point 5 of the Constitution with the
explanation that she carried out actions which aren’t arisen of the
Ombudsperson’s commissions. “It became clear that writing a letter
to the President of the republic is a violation of the Constitution,”
Larisa Alaverdian mentioned.

While, according to her, it’s spoken only about the money problem:
people demanded such a size of money which will allow to buy flats
instead of the ones taken from them. According to L.Alaverdian,
in the case of fulfilling those demands, those people or groups of
people the interests of who were classified higher than the interests
of inhabitants at all levels of the authorities, will have no great
losses.

Touching upon the problem of violating the right of judicial
protection, Larisa Alaverdian mentioned that this issue is spoken
about so much that the Ombudsperson’s speech seems to be late. But
according to her, one must give the alarm not about dependence of
judges but about absence of a just legal action. According to her,
for complaints against an unjust decision made by a judge, it isn’t
much important who appoints that judge.
