    ZHOGHOVURD: ARMENIAN JUDGES TO GO ON STRIKE?

    09:52 * 14.02.14

    Armenian judges may go on strike to voice their complaints against
    controversial provisions of the law ensuring social guarantees for
    retired state officials, the paper has learned.

    Citing its sources, it says that several judges have now applied to
    the International, and European Associations of Judges, calling for
    attention to the problem.

    The paper says it has received a copy of the letter expressing the
    judges' complaints about imperfections in the law. "The law gives no
    clarification as to why the judge's right to receive a 'high pension',
    i.e. - the social guarantee of judges' independence -has been excluded
    [from the law], and why it was decided to apply it only to those who
    have served as a judge for many years, instead of the individuals
    who become a judge after the passage of the law," reads the appeal,
    according to the paper.
