As a result of non-transparent judiciary Armenia is running short
of justice, Deputy Chairman of the Chamber of Lawyers of Armenia Ara
Zohrabyan said during the Chamber's strike on Monday.
Over 550 of 1,200 members of the Chamber of Lawyers of Armenia went
on a one-day strike on Monday to express their displeasure with the
activities of the Cassation Court.
Their key complaint is that availing itself of the ambiguity of the new
cassation procedures approved in 2007, the Cassation Court has ever
since passed lots of arbitrary verdicts. For some unknown reasons,
the Court accepts one complaint and declines another one though both
are based on the same criteria. So, the lawyers suspect the Court of
being corrupt.
"When marking the 10th birthday of the Cassation Court President
Serzh Sargsyan said that they had created a judiciary that would
administer real justice, based on the law, national traditions,
European experience and universal human values, but nothing has
changed since then," Zohrabyan said.
