IN ARMENIA HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTOR HERSELF NEEDS PROTECTION
The New Times Party argues that the institution of human rights protection
needs to be protected. In a release put out yesterday the party expresses
support to the Armenian ombudswoman Larisa Alaverdian and emphasizes that
the institution she heads is the visiting card of a democratic state. The
institute of human rights protection has been consistent in its mission
during the time it functions in our country. "As every independent and
substantial initiative, the ombudswoman's work was no exception in drawing
the pressure of today's regime. As a result of the independent activity, the
RA justice minister following an unknown law appealed to the National
Assembly to limit already confined authority of the ombudswoman. No matter
how ridiculous, it is the human rights protector that needs protection in
our reality", the party evaluated.
