/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.
