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.
