Resignation of the Armenian Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan without any explanation to it has raised many questions in the Armenian society.

The Armenian media reports urge that he has resigned under pressure of the country's authorities.

Andreasyan, known for his openness to the press, made a brief statement o his resignation and refused to comment on his decision. Many suggest that the Ombudsman chose to resign rather than be a weak-willed puppet of the regime.

Systematic large-scale human rights violations and the impunity of such acts in Armenia has become a commonplace.

Urged to protect rights and freedoms, the Ombudsman is essentially a fiction in this country and is completely under incessant pressure.

Human rights violation is a widely spread case in Armenia, where the current government suppresses all the manifestation of the freedom speech. The predecessor of Karen Andreasyan resigned on his own initiative, apparently for the same reason.

Any kind of democracy and respect for human rights is out of question in the country which is covered with lie and based on lawlessness. Even without affecting military aggression against Azerbaijan, ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijani nation, the massacre in Khojaly and other "military feats", what human rights can be discussed in the country, deserted because of complete arbitrariness of the authorities and plundered by the so-called elite?

In Armenia even the representatives of opposition are afraid to say something against the authorities with a fair of private security.

The UN experts believe that the situation of human rights in Armenia has not changed for many years. Armenian does not implement the UN international obligations to protect human rights specified in the universal review.
