`Non-humanitarian posture can lead to political resentment'
07:16 pm | June 25, 2010 | Social
A group of Armenian citizens have applied to the Public Council
protesting against the judicial system, Hovhannes Hovhannisyan,
Chairman of Public Council's Commission on Civil Society Consolidation
Affairs, said today.
"The analysis of the appeals has shown that most of our citizens are
unaware of their rights, hence they take a passive stance in legal
affairs," Mr. Hovhannisyan said.
57 percent of citizens complain of high-ranking officials.
"I think it is high time we spoke about the norms of ethics of state
officials," he said and added that in most cases citizens are
discontent with the officials' inhuman attitude and non-professional
approach.
"This non-humanitarian posture of our officials can lead to political
resentment. On the other hand, I would like to note that our citizens
with their passiveness contribute to officials' arbitrary acts. If we
want to build a civil society, we must stand in the shoes of
citizens."
The Commission has forwarded part of the letters to relevant bodies
and to the Head of RA President's Staff.
