Armenian Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan presented 2012 statistical data of human rights violations by state organizations ahead of presidential elections.

He noted that most violations were recorded by the prosecutor’s office, law enforcement agencies and the Justice Ministry.

Dwelling on the relations with the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Mr. Andreasyan said, “Though I’m grateful to RPA for appointing me to the post, I owe nothing to the party.”
