YEREVAN.- In the short-time perspective activities of the Police, Prosecutor’s Office and the courts must be called upon to provide for a comprehensive protection of each individual’s rights and interests, guaranteed access to justice for every member of the society and fair resolution of every dispute, said the Armenian President.

He commented on the judicial reforms carried out in Armenia while addressing the 13th Congress of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia.

“Reform of the judicial and legal field is no less important. Results in this area are already observable. And it is not only about the volume of the institutional and legislative changes conducted in a relatively short period of time, or positive response of the international structures to the undertaken measures, which, as it seems, is becoming quite customary.

The creation of the atmosphere, which is conducive for the alteration of the practices in the Police, Prosecutor’s Office, other law enforcement bodies and courts and establishment of a new culture are much more important.

This a qualitatively new result of the reform in the judicial and legal system which allows to break away with a mixed and sometimes justified stereotypes present within our society and related to these bodies.”
