YEREVAN, MARCH 1, NOYAN TAPAN. The two-day seminar entitled "Comparison
of Armenian and Greek Legislations concerning Electoral Right" started
at the RA Court of Cassation on March 1. It was organinized on the
initiative of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Public
Law Center and RA Judicial School, with the financial assistance of
the RA Court of Cassation.
Panagiotis Danias, the judge of the Court of Administrative Instance of
Greece, presenting the Greek experience of improvement of the electoral
legislation, informed that, according to the Constitution adopted in
1975, the Chairmen of the central and district electoral commissions
of Greece are representatives of the justice sphere. In P.Danias'
words, this circumstance does not give cause for displeasure to the
pro-governmental and opposing parties as "it supposes that judges
must be impartial and objective."
And Erna Hayrinian, the judge of the Civil Chamber of the RA Court of
Cassation mentioned that the principle of the law on involving judges
in Armenia in the electoral process caused indignation of opposing
forces, as a result of what it was qualified anti-constitutional by
the decision of the RA Constitutional Court. In E.Hayriyan's words,
judges of Armenia "are even pleasant that they got off with additional
obligations like the process of control of elections."
