YEREVAN
Public confidence in judicial system must be enhanced in Armenia,
Armenian President Serge Sargsyan said Thursday at the ceremony of
celebrating 10th anniversary of Armenian Court of Cassation.
He said that the justice system has plenty to do to enhance public
confidence.
The president thinks that judges must become independent.
"I will take whatever necessary to rid them of financial dependence
and make them independent on influential people. At the same time,
I'll keep a vigilant watch on them to prevent abusing this independence
and shielding themselves from the law", the president said.
He said that public discontent is mainly fueled by injustice, and
people's demand is to ensure a genuine justice in courts.
Summarizing the results of the Cassation Court's decade-long activity,
Sargsyan said that the court has done a huge job of forming courts
and ensuring their activities.
He said that the Court of Cassation bears the responsibility for
forming new legal traditions.
"We have reached substantial achievements in state and legal thoughts
in Armenia, but never had own courts. Foreigners rendered justice
in the country long centuries. That justice could be bought", the
president said.
He said that a new system has already been created. This system must
give justice to=2 0people.
Sargsyan said that the Court of Cassation started playing a special
role in three-grade judicial system after the 2005 reforms, when it
was separated from Constitutional Court.
Sargsyan put a special emphasis on adjusting Armenian justice system
to European standards. The president urged Armenian judges to improve
their skills constantly.
Cassation Court of Armenia was established on June 10, 1998.
The court consists of two chambers - criminal and civil and
administrative. The chairman of the count is Hovhannes Manukyan.
