/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia's Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan called for
improvement of the republic's legal system.
"Our research showed that the right to fair legal procedure is not
guaranteed in Armenia," he told journalists on Friday. "Being under
the pressure of the Office of Prosecutor General, the juridical system
is losing the population's confidence."
He also criticized the way the investigation into March 1, 2008 events
was carried out. "If the initiated criminal cases reach Strasbourg,
we will fail in 90% of suits," Harutyunyan said.
