    COURT WAS TO HEAR ANOTHER CASE

    A1+
    [08:05 pm] 01 September, 2008

    "Another case was to be heard here today, for instance, an attempt
    upon life, illegal detention, torture, etc. I was to attend the
    court-sitting as an injured party and not as a defendant," Deputy
    Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangirian said today at the Court of General
    Jurisdiction of Yerevan's Kentron and Nork-Marash districts.

    Afterwards, Jhangirian made a political statement. "Actually, Armenia
    has never had a fully independent judicial system. What do we have
    after February 19? A judicial body fully dependent on the country's
    authorities. On February 19 they usurped our citizens' votes, power,
    courts' independence and prosecutors' freedom," announced Gagik
    Jhangirian.

    "Inspector and judges say: "What can we do? We keep a family." It
    means their constitutional rights and powers and guarantees for their
    impartiality are also usurped. They are held as hostages and serve
    the acting regime. I do not justify them. I simply feel pity for them
    as they have no will power to act freely. Otherwise the perpetrators
    of the March 1 carnage would be standing at the bar. There is only
    one solution: we must establish order of law in this country. Only
    in that case, the Goddess of Justice will return to Armenia and make
    up losses."
