NEW FIELD FOR COMPETITION
Support A1+!Trying not politicize the matter of returning the deposits, Human Rights Defender Larisa Alaverdyan has the following approach towards the problem: “If a person deposited money and cannot receive it back, it is the violation of human rights”, she stated.
In her opinion, the state is obliged not only to return the deposits but also to reimburse the people the absence of possibility to use the sums in the course of years. “The matter should be discussed and brought to the notion of the interested persons”, Larisa Alaverdyan says.
In her words, the position of the interested party is being ignored in the issue. “The legislation should say that if the depositor dies his heirs should exercise the right of receiving the compensation. Otherwise the state will artificially protract the settlement of the issue and thus get rid of the problem”, he noted.
The problem of returning the deposits exists in all the post soviet states and it can be settled only after clarification of the legislation.
The human rights defender assures she is not aware of the possibilities the state possesses for returning the deposits. “I must be impartial. I positively assess the fact that the issue is being discussed. Ignoring of this matter would be offensive for the people”, she added. To note, in her opinion, political forces should compete on the issue.
