JHANGIRYAN'S OPINION IS OUT OF ETHICS
As reported earlier the sessions of the prosecutor's office are full
of topics for reporters. On February 2, the representatives of the
prosecutor's office complained about the courts and Judicial Acts
Compulsory Execution (DAHK) services. Aram Tamazyan, deputy prosecutor
general said `DAHKs are trying to get out of control of the
prosecutor's office.' Gagik Jhangiryan, another deputy general and
ex-military prosecutor, said, `Courts are making efforts to
self-establish themselves.'
Panorama.am earlier referred to data submitted by DAHK proving that
the service always reports to the general prosecutor's office. We
interviewed Alina Yengoyan, press secretary of Appeal Court, on the
developments.
- On February 2, 2007 Gagik Jhangiryan, deputy general prosecutor,
said that in some cases courts are trying to self-establish themselves
but they will have to come back to law and the filed of legal
reasoning. What is your opinion on that?
- Such a statement is out of borders of professional ethics. It is
clear that in the course of introduction of competitive judicial
system and European standards, tougher requirements will be imposed on
pre-investigation officials and prosecutor's office in the criminal
investigation process. It is natural that these structures will have
to work more. But it is unacceptable to condemn the courts because it
is not their wish but is a tendency of modern Armenian
development. After all, if the deputy prosecutor general means
independence of courts by saying `self-establishment' then he is
absolutely right. We witness that process. Courts are becoming more
independent and that process will continue.
- Don't you that the statement of the deputy prosecutor general
referred to Mataghisi Case.
- The Armenian Constitutional proclaims and guarantees freedom of
speech throughout Armenia. Any person may express his/her opinion and
we welcome that. However, we think the opinion should be in the
boundaries of law and ethics.
