Armenia's Minister of Justice Hovhannes Manukyan is concerned over
the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rulings against Armenia,
which make Armenia pay for local judges' wrong verdicts.
However, he does not think the problem should be resolved by imposing
penalties on judges for committing judicial errors.
"But we cannot propose any mechanisms that are not applied in
civilized countries. However poor the judicial system is, it is of
high importance for the country," Mr Manukyan told reporters on Friday.
The minister advises studying European judicial systems with an
experience of dozens of years.
"Nowhere can you see penalties imposed on judges because of an ECHR
ruling against the state," Mr Manukyan said.
Armenia's judicial system needs reforming to reduce judicial errors
to a minimum.
"Of course, even a perfect judicial system commits judicial errors.
But we have to enhance our judicial system's efficiency and thus
reduce judicial errors to a minimum," Mr Manukyan said.
