YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS: Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
presented today the newly appointed chairman of the Court of Cassation
Arman Mkrtumian.
Presidential press service told Armenpress that noting that the decree
was signed on September 17 taking into consideration the suggestion of
the Council of Justice, the president congratulated A. Mkrtumian on
being appointed in the exclusively responsible office and expressed
wish that with his activity, Mkrtumian will serve as an example for
all the judges of the Republic.
In his speech the president said that it is obvious that the quality
of the justice is being assessed exclusively by the society and if
it is viewed with that point of view the quality of implementation
of justice in our country is not good.
"I have stated for many times and now I repeat that I will
do everything to make courts in our country independent and make
judges not take bribe. Only the wish of the president, efforts of the
executive power, plus the initiatives of the legislative body are not
enough to solve the issues of a such crucial system. We must have
supporters inside, we need your initiatives and express readiness
to help you. You must be able to consolidate the judicial system,"
the president said.
"Together with you we must notice certain changes every month, year
and if we do not notice those changes, it means that we must make
conclusions. My today's, yesterday's, the day's before conclusions
brought me to this gathering. I want that the judges of the Court
of Cassation realize the degree of their responsibility and their
role and all you must help the chairman of the court to continue the
positive which you see on the way of the reforms," S. Sargsyan noted.
The president of the country also expressed assurance that the chairman
of the Court of Cassation will present suggestions on his vision of
changes in the system.
