On November 21-22 International Conference on the Issues of Life-term
Prisoners was organized in Yerevan, Armenia by the Helsinki Committee
of Armenia.

Avetik Ishkhanyan, President of Helsinki Committee of Armenia during a
briefing noted that ‘in European countries, where independent judicial
system is present, decisions of justification make 10-25 per cent,
and in our country the number does not exceed 2%. In Europe a lot
of mistakes are made in a judicial system, but people admit their
mistakes reviewing their decisions whereas in our country they do
not even admit that a judicial mistake can be made’.

‘There is a judicial system and a judicial power. When we say judicial
power we mean independent judicial system’ noted Avetik Ishkhanyan
adding ‘we do not have judicial power, we have a judicial system’.
