    OMBUDSWOMAN VISITING GYUMRI

    Armenian ombudswoman, Larisa Alaverdian, paid a one-day working visit to
    Gyumri on June 7. Mrs. Alaverdian said during a meeting with journalists at
    Asparez club that she had visited Gyumri last year to solicit for the
    release of the detainees after the notorious protest rally.

    Arriving in Gyumri on invitation of Sakhorov Human Rights NGO and Asparez
    club, Mrs. Alaverdian first of all received citizens at the office of
    Sakhorov NGO. Addressing people's needs on the spot is more efficient than
    trying to solve something through official correspondence. Mrs. Alaverdian
    said that 90 percent of complaints from Gyumri and Shirak region as a whole
    concern distribution of apartments (Shirak is an earthquake-hit region), the
    remaining 10 percent concerns teachers' violated rights during the process
    of optimalization, social issues and very few issues concerning civil
    rights.

    Aside from this, the ombudswoman was in Gyumri to let the NGOs and the
    public know about the first ever report that a human rights protector makes
    in Armenia. Discussion over this document would surely be more useful if
    people were informed about its contents beforehand.
