ArmInfo. A working group has been formed in the Supreme Judicial Council of Armenia to study the recording of the conversation between the former and current heads of the Supreme Court of Justice Ruben Vardazaryan and Gagik Jhangiryan. Member of the SJC David Khachaturyan told journalists on June 27.
According to him, the working group consists of five members. The Group intends to study the recording and give an objective and adequate assessment of the expressions and opinions that are recorded in it. That's why Khachaturyan now refuses to comment on this conversation. He noted that the JSC appealed to Vardazaryan with an appeal to provide the group with a complete and unedited recording of the conversation. "Vardazaryan said that he has not yet received our letter, when he receives and gives an official answer, we will also answer for our part," Khachaturyan emphasized, adding that the versions of all parties, including Vardazaryan himself, Jhangiryan and lawyers, have the right to be expressed. In this regard, Khachaturyan pointed out the importance of conducting a full-fledged investigation. According to him, law enforcement agencies are preparing materials, and urged to wait for the results of the investigation.
It should be reminded that on June 20, Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council Ruben Vardazaryan, whose powers had not yet been suspended by this date, published a recording of a conversation with Acting Chairman of the SJC Gagik Jhangiryan, stating that in exchange for stopping the persecution, he was offered to resign as Chairman of the SJC. He also noted that the proposal was made on behalf of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Before publishing the recording, Vardazaryan emphasized that if something happens to him or his family members, the perpetrators can be easily found. -sh-
