DAVID HAROUTIUNIAN TO GET INVOLVED IN POLITICAL
ACTIVITIES SOON
"I believe there should be no non-party ministers in
Armenia," David Haroutiunian, RA Justice Minister,
said this at today's press conference. He added that
the is going to get involved in the political
activities, as the new Constitution allows to combine
the functions of executive and legislative powers. He
said that both a deputy and the Justice Minister are
engaged in active political developments in Armenia
and this is required by the Constitution.
In this connection he emphasized that he is likely to
participate in the coming parliamentary elections in
2007. He added he may join a party, without specifying
exactly which one. At the same time he said he is not
going to run for the presidential elections in 2008.
As for the accusations that Judiciary system is
flooded with corruption, he didn't agree with that and
added that the anti-corruption struggle should begin
by implementation of the reforms in the
court-judiciary system.
