YEREVAN, October 10. /ARKA/. To retain current pace of growth Armenia
has to make considerable efforts for forming justice system and making
it an additional impetus for its development, Armenian Justice Minister
David Harutyunyan said Monday at the Armenian Judges Union's General
Assembly opening ceremony. In his words, a new judicial system is
operating in Armenia for 7 years and many problems have been solved
for that period. "The step was very important, but nobody can be
satisfied with the current situation and it is natural that we have
new goals", Harutyunyan said. In his opinion, approaches to judicial
institutions' independence need revision. In this connection, the
minister attached great importance to constitutional amendments,
which, he said, solve new problems, especially considering judicial
institutions independence aspect.
At the same time, he noted that the new package of constitutional
amendments give no answers to some questions, but said the Constitution
shows the directions, in which justice system should move. That's why
the next step after constitutional reforms project approval will be
a new judicial code for regulating all the matters related to courts
and judges, including judges' education, skill upgrading training,
the nomination of judges and courts financing.
Besides, Harutyunyan said, under the new code, General Assembly of the
Union of Judges of Armenia would become the supreme body implementing
judicial power self-governing and solving all important problems. In
his words, time came for developing the General Assembly from mere
NGO into a state body.
Today General Assembly of the Union of Judges of Armenia gave its
approval to the package of constitutional amendments and Judge Conduct
Code.
