    ARMENIAN PRESIDENT: UNIFIED ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS KEY OBJECTIVES OF JUDICIAL REFORMS

    /ARKA/

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, April 21. /ARKA/. Unified interpretation and enforcement of
    laws, especially by courts, must become one of the key objectives of
    judicial reforms, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said Wednesday
    at his meeting with law enforcement officials.

    "Examination of judicial practice showed that broadly-worded laws
    give room for controversial practice," he said. "I don't say that
    this began now. This fault existed forever, but we must combat it,
    especially after adoption of changes."

    The president said that people, seeing such strange decisions or
    verdicts, lose their confidence in judicial institutions.

    He said that restoration of public confidence in the justice system
    is one of the aims of these reforms.

    Sargsyan said that imperfectness of laws is not the only problem in
    judicial system.

    The head of state also singled out faults in relations between law
    enforcement agencies.

    He said that despite some achievement, law enforcement institutions
    have plenty to do to put things right.

    Armenian Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan, Justice Minister
    Hrayr Tovmasyan, Chairman of the Court of Cassation Arman Mkrtumyan,
    National Security Chief Gorik Hakobyan, Police Chief Alik Sargsyan
    and other officials attended Wednesday's session.
