Armen Harutyunyan: public better prepared for democracy than political system

PanARMENIAN.Net - It's not a secret that human rights are not protected properly in Armenia, the republic's Ombudsman said.



"The authorities should take action instead of thinking about reports issued by various foreign organizations and states," Armen Harutyunyan said during the presentation of his 2008 report.



"We do our best to be impartial. But when we criticize the authorities we are accused of playing into the opposition's hands, or on the contrary," he said, adding that presently, the public is better prepared for democracy than political system.
