YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 25, ARMENPRESS: Arthur Tunian, head of an office
set up to supervise implementation of a set of judicial reforms funded
by a World Bank credit, said the government of Armenia and the World
Bank are negotiating the terms of a second judicial reform credit.

Tunian said the second credit is expected to amount to $20-25 million
and will run for five years. He said an agreement on release of
$800,000 advance for preparation work was signed and sent to Armenian
National Assembly’s ratification.

The second credit will be used to repair around 30-31 court buildings
and construct 10-111 new premises. Apart from construction works the
second credit program envisages also purchase of new equipment.

Tunian said the government of Armenia and World Bank are pleased
with the outcome of the first $11.5 million worth credit program
that was used for construction, repair of court houses in Armenia
and furnishing them with new modern equipment.

He said part of the second credit will be used for installment of a
test voice system for recording of court hearings.
