The staff of the Ombudsman’s Office without claiming that all the alarms presented by the citizens contain absolute truth, however, gave importance to that fact that in the event of rejection of the presented information the details of the rejected claim and convincing arguments be presented. In particular, in two cases of election bribery in Sisian and Verin Getashen it should be presented from whom and with which purpose was the explanation taken and if there were contradictory explanations. If there is at least one mutually exclusive explanation, then a criminal case should be initiated, which will enable to implement other investigative and criminal-judicial actions (confrontations, the recognition and expertise, etc.).

 

We hope that the Police will appropriately accept the reports about the election crimes and other notices and will implement our requests, because otherwise not only will the work done by the police be shadowed but the whole election process as well. 

 

Karen Andreasyan in particular emphasized "Our society gives more importance to the political evaluation and the processes and ignores legal aspects. Any post-election political processes without underestimating the political component, however, it is necessary to minimize their connection with the legal processes. It is therefore necessary to resort the public attention on the specific election violations and crimes. With the induction method (in particular to the general) specific political assessments can be specified and justified. During those elections there aren’t many factual evidences of the election violations, therefore no single case must be ignored. It shouldn’t be allowed that the law enforcement authorities finish these cases even in transparent and timely, but with common and similar explanations. "
