PROBLEMS OF ARMENIAN OMBUDSMAN STARTED AFTER HER ANNUAL REPORTING

YEREVAN, JUNE 11. ARMINFO. The problems of Armenia’s ombudsman Larisa
Alaverdyan started after her reporting on her work in 2004, says the
leader of the opposition Justice bloc, MP Stepan Demirtchyan.

The government did not like the report and launched an attack against
Alaverdyan through Justice Ministry, Constitutional Court and finally
National Security Service. Demirtchyan does not agree with his bloc
colleague Arshak sadoyan that the case of Alaverdyan is just an act
aimed to raise her rating. “I don’t think this is an act. She failed
to cater for the government and is now defendless before its machine,”
says Demirtchyan.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
