YEREVAN, APRIL 21, NOYAN TAPAN. The judicial system of Armenia
does not enjoy sufficient confidence by society. David Avetisian,
the Vice-Chairman of the RA Union of Judges, the Chairman of the RA
Cassation Court's Criminal Chamber, said at the April 19 general
meeting of the RA Union of Judges. He also said that there is no
sufficient predictability to activity carried out by courts, in
particular, to judicial acts. The evidence of it is the fact that
nearly 22 precent of judicial acts on civil cases is annulled by the
higher judicial instances and 39 percent on criminal cases. Therefore,
raising the quality of judicial acts is an important problem for
Armenia.
D. Avetisian also considers that "if we wish to have a really
fully-fledged judicial power, we should give proper payment to those
administering that power."
The report on the work done by the RA Union of Judges in 2006-2008,
as well as the report of the Union's Control Commission was heard
during the Union's general meeting.
