YEREVAN. – The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) gets quite a lot of lawsuits from Armenia, said Minister of Justice Davit Harutyunyan, at a press conference on Tuesday.

“I can’t say that this is bad in itself,” Harutyunyan noted. “People are trying to protect their rights; this bespeaks the self-consciousness of citizens, and the establishment of the institute of justice [in Armenia].”

When asked whether the growth in the number of lawsuits filed with the ECHR from Armenia attest to the poor quality of justice in the country, the minister responded that even though this quality may be excellent, the losing party, as a rule, is dissatisfied with the decision of the court.

“So, drawing conclusions that the [Armenian] court is corrupt is unacceptable,” added Davit Harutyunyan.
