The fact that the New Criminal Procedure Code of the RA has not been adopted until now has a negative influence on the work of the advocates. Ara Zakaryan told.
It is strange to the lawyer that the approval of the new Code is being postponed.” It has not been accepted by the NA, It has not even included in the schedule. Of course this uncertainty also affects our work. I am waiting for the new Code to be accepted and entered into force”-mentioned the advocate, stating that there are many drawbacks in the project.
However, the advocate thinks that the Code must be accepted for the “removal of the shameful situation” connected with sentence. They tried to convince us that this is a legislative problem, although I doubt in it. It is a result of the defected thinking of the court. Any way if they think that it is a legislative problem, let them enforce the new Code, for the regulation of the shameful situation” concluded Ara Zakaryan.
