Way to solve the issue is different
The violations of property rights are not too different in Spain and Armenia, but the ways of solving them in a civilized manner are. This became clear during a discussion on property rights protection with the participation of Human Rights experts from Spain and Armenia at the RA Ombudsman's Office.
"There was more emphasis on the compulsory alienation of properties. During the discussion, it became clear that the issues related to compensation are the same and that the sums for compensation are less than the market value," civil, social-economic and cultural rights protection group expert at the Ombudsman's Office Yeranuhi Tumanyants told "A1+".
Representatives of the non-governmental organizations involved with the violation of the rights of residents of the sale zone presented the cases of alienation of citizens' properties, the violations of property rights and the consequences.
The Spanish experts also presented a report on "Alienation of property by force and the role of the Ombudsman of Spain".
According to Yeranuhi Tumanyants, the purpose of similar discussions is to contribute to the protection and promotion of the supremacy of the law and human rights in Armenia.
"This is an exchange of experience in the sphere of human rights. We are working on taking the experience that has given good results and try to apply it in our practice in some way," said Yeranuhi Tumanyants.
