    ARMENIAN OMBUDSMAN DISSATISFIED WITH THE REFUSAL OF ARMENIAN
    GOVERNMENT TO FULLY SATISFY APPLICATION OF OMBUDSMAN INSTITUTION

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 14. ARMINFO. Armenian Ombudsman Larisa Alaverdyan
    is dissatisfied with the refusal of the Armenian Government to fully
    satisfy the application of Ombudsman Institution.

    Speaking at the Armenian Parliament Friday she said the Institution
    applied for 141 million AMD, meanwhile the Government has agreed to
    allocate only 130 million AMD. She stressed the necessity for
    replenishment of the Ombudsman's Staff with 5 employees for the
    increasing number of applications (12% in 2005). Besides, the issue
    of representing the Institution in Shirak, Syunik and Gegharkunik
    regions still needs solution. Larisa Alaevryan said the average wages
    of an employee of the Ombudsman Institution is 90,000 AMD. The draft
    state budget for 2006 has ignored this problem.

    Meanwhile, Armenian Minister for Finance and Economy Vardan
    Khachatryan said financing of the Ombudsman Institution is not prior
    for the Government. The more so as state allocations to the other
    ministries or departments have not increased as much as those of the
    Ombudsman Institution. Annual allocations for the latter rise by 30%.
    Besides, V. Khachatryan disagreed with the size of the wages
    presented by Larisa Alaverdyan. The minister said Ombudsman
    Institution employees receive 102,000 AMD monthly wages.
