The number of those who seek for justice from the Armenian Human Rights defender has increased with 13%. The Ombudsman has already prepared her first report covering the recent 10 months of activities. The cases of human rights violations are frequent mostly in Yerevan, Shirak and Gegharkunik regions. The citizens usually complain of the police, local self-government bodies, departments of social welfare and courts. Larisa Alaverdyan noted that the report cannot cover the whole situation with the human rights available in the republic. Thus, when all the reports on freedom of speech by international structures contain information on depriving «A1+» TV Company of air, there is not a single word about «A1+» in the Ombudsman’s report. Larisa Alaverdyan explains this by the fact that the reforming of the National TV and Radio Committee in her opinion is more important from the aspect of freedom of speech.

During 10 months of activities Larisa Alaverdyan has discovered some interesting facts. For example, the number of invalids in Armenia is gradually decreasing. Is it possible in Armenia after the earthquake and war? According to the Ombudsman, it is due to the changes that occurred in the system of issuing degrees of invalidity. Thus the decrease of the number is purely mechanical.

The Ombudsman is concerned over the fact that after a minor rise of pensions many families were excluded from Paros system. To note, over 90% of those, who turn to Larisa Alaverdyan for, help are people belonging to not sufficiently provided sectors of population.

Rights of property are also frequently violated in Armenia. Presently a suit brought against Minister of Transport and Communications accused of violating the right of property is being considered in the Ombudsman’s Office.
