LARISSA ALAVERDYAN SEES NO PROGRESS IN ISSUE OF COURTS INDEPENDENCE
Ombudsman Larissa Alaverdyan reported on her work done for seven months in
office.
She said from 1,162 complaints received, 184 have been considered and the
problems mentioned in them solved.
Alaverdyan pointed out imperfectness of Armenia’s legal system saying
overwhelming majority of the complaints received are related to that very
system and the department responsible for carrying out legal compulsory
acts.
She sees no progress in the issue of courts independence.
The ombudsman said red tape in state institutions “is one of our biggest
worries”.
In her words, people have to wait for answer to their motions for months.
Larissa Alaverdyan thinks human rights protection can become more effective
if poverty is reduced in the republic. She said she noticed that rights of
those in need are being violated more often.
