YEREVAN The Armenian parliament has installed two new members at the state body that nominates, sanctions, and dismisses the South Caucasus country’s judges, amid tensions between the government and judiciary.
Gagik Jahangirian and Davit Khachaturian were appointed to fill vacant seats at the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) in a vote on January 22 that was boycotted by the opposition, following their nomination by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian’s My Step bloc.
Taron Sahakian of the Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) said it would not take part in the vote because “the opposition has been barred from participating in judicial reforms.”
