ArmInfo. Nikol Pashinyan's call to block all entrances to the courts' exits lies in two planes - political and legal. The Minister of Justice Artak Zeynalyan said  this on May 21 in an interview with journalists.

He noted that he does not intend to give a legal assessment of this  issue. As for the Prime Minister's statement that "surgical  intervention" is necessary in the judicial system, Zeynalyan said:   "There are no doubts that many problems have accumulated in the  judicial system and in the judiciary. As for the venting, it has  already been used several times in various countries of the world,  and this experience can also be applied in Armenia. Today, the veting  is very successfully used in Albania, "the minister stressed.  

Zeynalyan noted that the venting will not apply to any specific  judges. "None of the judges will be targeted.  There will be no  discrimination here. We had many problems in the judicial system, and  we decided to solve them radically and quickly," the minister  stressed.

He also noted that this system will not be directed against the  judges appointed by the former government, and in the near future the  government will do everything possible to prove it.

It should be noted that on May 19, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan made an appeal to the citizens of the republic to block the  entrances and exits of all courts. "From 08:30 am on May 20, we block  the entrances and exits of all courts in the republic without  exception, so that no one can enter," he wrote on his Facebook page,  adding that tomorrow at 12:00 the second , the most important stage  of the Armenian revolution, and that he will make an important  statement about the situation in the judicial system.
