    NEW JUSTICE COMPOUND INAUGURATED IN YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 23, ARMENPRESS: A five-storey compound that will
    house a court of review and Armenian economic court was inaugurated
    today. The compound has 23 court rooms and six pre-trial rooms for
    suspects. The building was built as part of an extensive reform of
    Armenian judiciary, funded by a World Bank credit. Some $1.418
    million were spent to build the new compound.
    It conforms to all internationally accepted standards and is
    divided into three security zones: an open zone for public, a
    restricted zone for judges and court personnel and a prohibited zone
    for suspects and indicted persons.
    Speaking at the ceremony justice minister David Harutunian said:
    "Today the Armenian society has the right to fair justice
    administration and the new compound is a component to ensure the
    independence of judiciary from executive power and there is a
    political will to do it."
    World Bank Resident Representatives, Roger Robinson, said the
    compound is the biggest building in Armenia, build on the Bank's
    funds. "The main objective of the judiciary reform is to make it
    transparent and effective," he said.
