Recent polls show that Armenian citizens have low confidence in the courts and the judiciary as a whole, said My Step ruling bloc MP Hovhannes Hovhannisyan at the Armenian parliament on Wednesday.

According to him, the authorities should be ready to take the path of a non-standard solution to the problem in order to justify the confidence of the people.

Touching upon the issue of the notorious vetting, another deputy from the My Step bloc Suren Grigoryan noted that he is personally acquainted with some bona fide judges, whose honest and patriotic work is often overshadowed by the work of unscrupulous colleagues. 

“It is incorrect to evaluate the vetting process only by the number of judges dismissed. If there are no dismissed judges, this does not mean that there is no vetting process in the country,” he said.
