YEREVAN. – These days Armenia’s National Security Service (NSS) is examining a petition where information is provided on the crimes committed by several judges, Hraparak daily writes, referring to the information it has received.    

“They say that, along the lines of examining [this petition], the judges are invited to the NSS and explanations are asked [of them]. On the one hand, it is good that those judges who have committed crimes can be punished, but, on the other hand, this is a process aimed against the independent status of the judges, and as a result their servitude will become more complete,” Hraparak writes.
