YEREVAN, April 8. / ARKA /. Relationships between citizens and police
officers remain one of the most vulnerable points in terms of human
rights protection in Armenia, Artur Sakunts, and head of the Vanadzor
office of the Helsinki Citizens' Assembly, said today when presenting
a corresponding report.
The report was prepared by the Vanadzor office of the Helsinki
Citizens' Assembly on the basis of studies conducted from June 1,
2010 to May 31, 2013 by six lawyers into 69 cases stemming from
Criminal and Civil Codes.
The studies revealed apparent violations in 75% of all cases -177
violations during detention, search and arrests of Armenian citizens.
According to the report, 83 violations were committed by police
officers during detention, 51 during arrest and 28 during the search
