YEREVAN, MARCH 12, NOYAN TAPAN. RA Ombudsman's annual report disregards
the political situation formed in Armenia in consequence of which
violation of basic human freedoms and rights was committed in the
systematized way during the whole 2008. The Armenian National Congress
(ANC) March 11 statement read this.
According to ANC, Ombudsman's report instead of a factual material has
many philosophical outpourings and inappropriate social-political
analyses having nothing in common with Ombudsman's mission. In
particular, it was mentioned that against the promises the Ombudsman
had given publicly, no estimation was given to the political trials.
"The dissipated facts on power's repressive nature are ascribed to the
system inherited since old times, the factor of current
administration's political will and responsibility was absolutely
excluded. Thus, the Ombudsman in essence has assumed the role of Serzh
Sargsyan's administration's lawyer. Adopting such a position, the
Ombudsman in fact has become an institution serving the represssive
political system, which has a goal to create democratic processes'
imitation with the image of an "unbiassed" valuer," the ANC statement
read.
According to ANC, with such a position the Ombudsman assumes
responsibility for the illegal actions done by the regime and thus
delivers a strong blow to the authority and mission of Ombudsman's
institution.
