Arbitrary rule
"Aghvan-like behaviour", President of Armenia's Chamber of Advocates Ruben Sahakian said about Armenian judges' posture.
Recently, Judge Mnatsakan Martirosian took a disciplinary proceedings against advocates Liparit Simonian, Melania Arustamian, Hovik Arsenian, Stepan Voskanian and Varduhy Elbakian. Ruben Sahakian considers Mnatsakan Martirosian's step as an "arbitrary rule."
The Advocates' Chamber is going to dismiss the proceedings against the advocates.
Remind that on March 17 Mnatsakan Martirosian decided to apply to the Chamber to take a disciplinary proceedings against the advocates.
The Chamber of Advocates plans to appeal to the Council of Justice to institute a disciplinary proceedings against the judge of Kentron and Nork-Marash District Court Mnatasakan Martirosian though Ruben Sahakian is sure no proceedings will be taken against the judge.
The Chamber also plans to set up a quick response group. The group will render assistance to advocates who have been subjected to arbitrary treatment by judges.
