The hotline and rapid response service of Ombudsman's office received
255 calls (setting the maximum number of lines compared to similar
state and public services), from which 25 alarms contain details
about election bribes, double voting, stuffing and other election
violations. "Pastinfo.am" was informed from the Office of Ombudsman.
Yesterday the staff of the Ombudsman's office throughout the whole
day contacted those 25 citizens and made additional clarifications in
order to obtain their consent to pass the information given by them
in whole or in part to the police, as well as to obtain permission to
disclose their identity to the police and the public. The disclosure
of the identity will allow the police to conduct more effective
investigations.
Informing the public about those people can make the investigation
process more transparent and reliable, protect those citizens from
various pressures, as well as be an example for other citizens.
As a result 25 alarms are the following:
