The chairman of Chamber of Advocates Ruben Sahakyan stated that judges
involved in illegal activities are not even afraid of regulatory
responsibility. Ruben Sahakyan mentioned the names of judges:
Danielyan, Khandanyan, Poghosyan, Arghamanyan...
In the joint conference on the right to fair trial held by the office
of the Human Rights Defender of Armenia and the Armenian Branch of
Fridrich-Ebert Fund the chairman of the Chamber of Advocates said
to have facts related to the illegal activities of these judges. He
says cases of corruption decreased in number but instead the size of
bribes increased.
The attorney says the impression is that those judges were told one
of them will be punished to imitate corruption fight to reassure
the society, and the others will be welcome to work in the same
illegal way.
Ruben Sahakyan says perhaps we should find another way to fight such
judges. "Maybe we should send letters to their wives, children and
parents asking them to urge their relatives not to break the law. Or
maybe we could ask their neighbors to ask them every morning why
these judges break the law when their salaries are several times
higher than the salaries of their neighbors".
The attorney says everyone, the judges, the prosecutors and the
attorneys are afraid of the media so corrupt judges could be fought
with the help of the press.
