YEREVAN, October 3. /ARKA/. In January-September 2008, positive
decisions were made on 79 complaints lodged with the RA Ombudsman.
RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan reported that 177 people got their
rights restored.
"During the period we received 2,845 complaints from citizens, 907
of them in written form," Harutyunyan said.
Among the most important achievements, Harutyunyan included the RA
Constitutional Court’s favorable decision on a claim appealing some
provisions of the RA Law "On state pensions".
"This allowed 6,097 people more to get their rights restored," he said.
The RA Ombudsman lodged a relevant claim last October. According to
him, the restrictions set by the law violated pensioners’ rights to
legal defense under the RA Constitution.
