Public confidence in the judiciary is extremely important, but we shouldn’t confuse public confidence with the position of a certain group of circle of people. This is what deputy of the My Step faction of the National Assembly of Armenia, Chair of the Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs Vladimir Vardanyan told reporters in parliament today.

“At least the candidates for judges of the Constitutional Court we talked about have the professional qualities and democratic values that are acceptable for the public. When we talk about the level of confidence, we need to ask ourselves whether professionalism, moral attributes and a person’s principles provide the opportunity to implement those democratic values. In my opinion, they do.

Widespread confidence is an anti-utopian approach according to which the whole public has a common position on this or that candidate. However, the majority of the public approves the candidates,” he said.
