Human Rights EXPO 2011 took place at the Sports and Concert Complex
after Karen Demirchyan. Speaking at the event, Armenian Human Rights
Defender Karen Andreasyan said, in part:
"Dear guests,
With the aim of celebrating the International human rights day, we have
initiated this exhibition, which differs from other EXPOs also due
to the fact that we are exhibiting not our success and achievements,
but stressing the difficulties, failures, pains and acute problems
of our society.
Summing up the year 2011 we would like to present some positive and
negative developments from the point of view of the Human Rights
Defender proficiency.
Many of you are aware of my public initiative of requesting the
initiation of disciplinary proceedings for 3 judges. Yesterday the
Justice Minister expressed his solidarity to respective highest
judicial body and I received final rejections with regard to all the
three cases. This is my biggest disappointment in 2011.
Continuing to sum up the developments for 2011 I would like to
inform that that most part of the grounded complaints addressed
to our institution refer to the wrong calculation of a pension and
deprivation from the right of getting a family pension.
The highest number of positive solutions to the complaints addressed
to us were given from the RA Ministry of Defense.
Our legislative proposals were mostly accepted by the RA Ministry of
Health and the RA Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.
The most improper and unacceptable response to our public criticism
we received from the RA Ministry of Education and Science. However,
we positively evaluate the fact that the Ministry, even after such
a response, undertook regulation of the formation of textbooks'
evaluation thematic committees.
The greatest support from State bodies was our financial bid's uphold
by the National Assembly during 2012 budget discussion.
For promoting our financial independence and for making our
extra-budget independent from the RA Government's confirmation we are
grateful to the RA Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and RA
the Finance Minister."
