ArmInfo. The Armenian Ombudsman's activities has been one of the leading in Europe in the field of protecting the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. 

According to the press service of the Office of the Human Rights  Defender, this was reported in a special report of the European  Network of National Human Rights Institutions(ENNHRI).

The Armenian Ombudsman's experience has been one of the leading in  Europe in the field of refugee and asylum seekers, that is to say,  migrants' rights.  

The report also noted the experience of joint monitoring by the  apparatus of the Ombudsmen of Armenia and Georgia at border crossing  points. A positive example was the retraining and discussions  organized for interested parties in the framework of cooperation  between the Ombudsman, the Armenian office of the Office of the  United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the Armenian Red  Cross Society.  ENNHRI in its report also referred to the  extraordinary report of the Ombudsman on ensuring the rights of  refugees and asylum seekers, pointing out the studies and proposals  of the Ombudsman regarding legislation.
