“We have so revolutionary solutions in the Draft Constitutional Reformations, the absence of which suppresses us to show the desired effect in the sphere”-said Gagik Ghazinyan, Doctor of Law, Professor, member of specialized commission on Constitutional Reformation, speaking about the legal order in the draft related to the judicial power.
To the question of iravaban.net, whether he does not see any problem in the fact that the judges of the Court of Appeals must be elected by the National Assembly, and according to the same Draft a stable majority must be established in the NA, hence it is supposed that the judges of the Court of Appeals will be nominated by the will of the ruling party, G. Ghazinyan answered:
“There is a problem, definitely. If there is a little suspicion about the legal order it is just that. Any question in the commission did not pass by the consensus or unanimous agreement. If there were suspicions, arguments, or just that viewpoint predominated, then it was done by the means of public tenders. Also hoping that the future Parliament (I do not know how grounded my hope is) will be superior, superb and they will stand higher from political, party and personal ambitions and elect the bests. In that case maybe it will serve to the purpose. Otherwise, we can consider that the solution was not so successful.”
Gagik Ghazinyan stated that the commission of Venice also saw that problem, stating that in that way the balance principle of the powers will be broken.
