The development of the justice system is of great importance for Armenia, the EU ambassador to Armenia Piotr Switalski told reporters on Tuesday.

The EU is in constant contact with the Justice Ministry, Switalski said adding that this is a priority for the Armenian government and some positive changes have already taken place.

According to him, new Armenia began with a low level of trust.

EU believe that Armenia is part of the European family, and any citizen can appeal the decision to the ECHR, he added.

There are several important decisions taken by the ECHR concerning political rights and freedoms, the envoy said adding that we must trust the judicial system of Armenia, and the courts must follow both domestic and European standards.

Meanwhile, the envoy noted that if transitional justice works in Balkans, it doesn’t mean it will work in Armenia.
