YEREVAN, April 21. /ARKA/. Unified interpretation and enforcement of
laws, especially by courts, must become one of the key objectives of
judicial reforms, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said Wednesday
at his meeting with law enforcement officials.
"Examination of judicial practice showed that broadly-worded laws
give room for controversial practice," he said. "I don't say that
this began now. This fault existed forever, but we must combat it,
especially after adoption of changes."
The president said that people, seeing such strange decisions or
verdicts, lose their confidence in judicial institutions.
He said that restoration of public confidence in the justice system
is one of the aims of these reforms.
Sargsyan said that imperfectness of laws is not the only problem in
judicial system.
The head of state also singled out faults in relations between law
enforcement agencies.
He said that despite some achievement, law enforcement institutions
have plenty to do to put things right.
Armenian Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan, Justice Minister
Hrayr Tovmasyan, Chairman of the Court of Cassation Arman Mkrtumyan,
National Security Chief Gorik Hakobyan, Police Chief Alik Sargsyan
and other officials attended Wednesday's session.
