Independent MP criticized Parliamentary majority for election of new  judges of Constitutional Court

ArmInfo. The people who were elected today as judges of the Constitutional Court by the Parliamentary majority are no different from the former judges of the 

Constitutional Court. Independent MP Arman Babajanyan stated this 

from the rostrum of the parliament.

"The people who carried out the will of the former authorities were 

replaced by a bribe-taker - a university lecture, scientist and 

judge, who is a protege of the former authorities, as well as a very 

weak lawyer," the MP noted.

Babajanyan noted that these judges were elected by the parliamentary 

majority, which two years ago in the square promised people to carry 

out radical reforms in the judicial system of Armenia.

<In fact, you have achieved nothing. The CCremained the same as it 

was, but with new members. This was a deliberate choice of authority. 

They betrayed their promises and the people of Armenia. But for my 

part, I want to assure that together with you I will continue the 

struggle for the implementation of fundamental reforms in the 

judicial system of Armenia. Corrupt judges and puppet courts should 

not have a place in our country. Reforms in this system are much more 

important than the political preferences of one or another political 

force," the MP concluded.  To note, today the Parliament elected 

three new judges of the Constitutional Court. They are Yervand 

Khundkaryan, Artur Vagharshyan and Edgar Shatiryan.
