ArmInfo.Head of the Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), Gagik Tsarukyan, believes that a judge should be at least 35 years old. He said this on March 6 in an interview with reporters, referring to the initiative to reduce the age limit for judges from 28 to 25 years.
He noted that he advocated the active participation of young personnel in the life of the country, but this participation should have limitations. "25 year-old young people can be judges on economic issues, but when it comes to the fate of people, then you need a person with experience.
Therefore, in my opinion, a judge should be at least 35 years old, "the MP emphasized. Tsarukyan urged his colleagues to study international experience, where the age limit for judges is also quite high." This is an objective reality. If they want to make changes, then this should be done with the study of the experience of other countries. You can study the experience of the United States or England," he stressed.
It should be noted that today a draft law on reducing the age limit for judges from 28 to 25 years was discussed in the Armenian parliament.
