Sept 27 2007
The Council for Justice of Armenia which discusses the disciplinary
proceedings against Justice Pargev Ohanyan retired for deliberation.
Before the justice made a speech. The disciplinary proceedings were
taken against him after he had acquitted the Royal Armenia case.
After the acquittal disciplinary proceedings were taken against the
judge, allegedly for former verdicts involving breaches. Meanwhile,
Pargev Ohanyan says the breaches were put up, and are groundless.
"The Bible says as you sow, so shall you reap. I am a judge, at
least now I have no right and wish to become engaged in politics. I
am not opposition, I am the government, and power is from God. I am
grateful for the opportunity to experience the feelings of innocent
people who are brought to court. Dear Council, do not be making a
hero out of me, I did my job, I upheld justice, I applied the law,
I protected the rule of law. As a representative of the government,
if the government on behalf of the council finds that I am not worth
it, I will acknowledge that I am not," stated Justice Ohanyan before
the court retired to pass a verdict.
The Council of Justice will read the verdict on October 12.
