YEREVAN. – The situation reminds me of 2013, when I criticized judges who opposed reforms. Georgia's Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Thea Tsulukiani said this at a joint news conference with Armenian Justice Minister Rustam Badasyan on December 9, answering the question on Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's call to block court entrances to the republic.

"I would repeat what was said in 2013 also today," she said.

On May 19, Prime Minister Pashinyan called on his supporters to close Armenia’s court entrances, but on May 20, he called for the restoration of the normal functioning of the country’s courts.
