COURT WAS TO HEAR ANOTHER CASE
Support A1+!“Another case was to be heard here today, for instance, an attempt upon life, illegal detention, torture, etc. I was to attend the court-sitting as an injured party and not as a defendant,” Deputy Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangirian said today at the Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan’s Kentron and Nork-Marash districts.
Afterwards, Jhangirian made a political statement. “Actually, Armenia has never had a fully independent judicial system. What do we have after February 19? A judicial body fully dependent on the country’s authorities. On February 19 they usurped our citizens’ votes, power, courts’ independence and prosecutors’ freedom,” announced Gagik Jhangirian.
“Inspector and judges say: “What can we do? We keep a family.” It means their constitutional rights and powers and guarantees for their impartiality are also usurped. They are held as hostages and serve the acting regime. I do not justify them. I simply feel pity for them as they have no will power to act freely. Otherwise the perpetrators of the March 1 carnage would be standing at the bar. There is only one solution: we must establish order of law in this country. Only in that case, the Goddess of Justice will return to Armenia and make up losses.”
