Following the 2018 revolution, the most significant criticism directed at the government and the ruling majority has been their inability to achieve results in the field of justice that could be considered satisfactory, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated at the 8th meeting of the Armenia-EU Civil Society Platform.
“In the Republic of Armenia, the judicial and justice systems, as well as the broader sense of fairness, lack an organic connection with the highest source of power – the people. This is one of the most important issues we must address in the near future, including through the adoption of a new Constitution,” he said.
According to the Prime Minister, the justice system in Armenia is administered by institutions that remain isolated and lack sufficient accountability and responsibility to the public.
“As a citizen of the Republic of Armenia, I myself do not have a sense of justice and fairness in the country. This is a fundamental problem that we must resolve,” Pashinyan concluded.
