Armenia's most urgent rights issue is lack of fair trial - Ombudsman
17:22 - 10.12.11
The most urgent human rights problem in Armenia since independence has
been lack of fair trial, Armenia's human rights defender has said at
an expo dedicated to the Human Rights Day in Yerevan.
Karen Andreasyan said that the Ombudsman's office has asked political
forces to present the current situation in the judicial system in
their discussions ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections, as
well as prepare realistic programs to establish free courts.
`Most of the complaints addressed to us related to deprivation of
people of their right to family allowances, wrong calculations of
pensions,' said Andreasyan.
According to him, it was the Defense Minsitry that addressed most of
the issued Ombudsman's office raised.
`It was from the Ministry of Education and Science that we received
the most improper and unacceptable reaction to our criticism,' he
added.
