Advocate Liparit Simonyan does not think that Constitutional Reforms will solve the issues of judicial system. “It isn`t stated in the Constitution that the Court should make unjust or unreasoned judicial acts. The Constitution clearly states that it has to carry out justice and should make reasoned judicial acts, but it isn`t doing so. Be it one-tier, two-tier or three-tier court, there`s no difference”, said Mr. Simonyan
To present what he said in a more figurative way, Mr. Simonyan brought the example of Ashot Arushanyan`s and Edgar Karaqeshishyan`s trial. “If the court, after having the evidence recognized unacceptable, makes a decision based on a hypothesis, what has the Constitutional reform to do with it? The RA Criminal Procedure Code clearly states that a person`s guiltiness is confirmed through the evidence studied by the investigation, and not through a presumption or hypothesis. But the Court does not pay attention to this, so the legislation is not the problem”, said the advocate.
