/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The ruling authorities of the country have inherited
from Soviet and post Soviet powers a repressive mechanism only. Today
the basis for this repressive system is the Public Prosecutor's Office
and the Intelligence Service of Armenia,' Armen Haroutyunyan, RA
ombudsman for Human Rights protection of 2008 said during his
speech. A vivid example of the repressive system is the style the
Intelligence Service of RA works. A lot of people made to give
evidence against their will or against the third party turn to the
Institute for Human Rights Protection,' Haroutyunyan remarked.
As the ombudsman said, all this results in the atmosphere of phobia
and fear in society. `The citizens are threatened to be treated
violently and most often the threats come from the employees of
Intelligence Services and Public Prosecutor's Office. It is hard to
speak about the presence of free Society since people are terribly
frightened. The issue of overcoming the atmosphere of phobia is one of
the basic problems of our society,' the ombudsman emphasized.
