    OMBUDSMAN CALLS FOR FULFILLMENT OF CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

    Armenia's Human Rights Defender's Office has received several
    complaints that Armenia's law enforcement bodies restrict the rights
    of Armenian citizens to have a lawyer while being held in detention.

    In that relation, Armenia's Ombudsman, Armen Harutyunyan, has issued
    a statement calling on Armenia's law enforcement bodies to strictly
    follow the requirements of Armenia's Constitution and the international
    agreements under which Armenia has assumed some responsibilities on
    human rights protection.

    "Taking into account the above-mentioned, I am calling [on Armenia's
    law enforcement bodies] to strictly follow from now on the requirements
    of Armenia's Constitution, the European Convention on the Protection
    of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, European Court of Human
    Rights and the precedents of the judicial acts of Armenia's Court of
    Cassation," reads the statement.
