Armenia’s citizens have distrust of judges and prosecutors

YEREVAN.-  Armenian citizens still have profound distrust in courts, Ombudsman Kren Andreasyan told reporters on Monday.

“That is the institution supposed to protect human rights,” Ombudsman emphasized. He said high poverty level contributes to increasing mistrust of state authorities.

Armenians have distrust of electoral processes as well. Although, no cases of violence and gross violations during the vote count were registered during the May 6 parliamentary elections, Armenians have little confidence in the process.

The Central Electoral Commission, the police and prosecutors are responsible for it, Karen Andreasyan concluded.
