Requirement to suspend the authority of a member of Supreme Judicial  Council rejected

ArmInfo. The requirement to suspend the authority of a member of the Supreme Judicial Council Nakhshun Tavaratsyan has been rejected. The Council issued the  corresponding decision on July 19.

Consideration of this issue began yesterday, on July 18. The  Council's meeting, which was held in open mode, was postponed to  invite two members of the Court of Cassation to serve as witnesses.  The meeting was convened on the initiative of the scientists- members  of the Council Grigor Bekmezyan, Hayk Hovhannisyan and Liparit  Melikjanyan.

To recall, Nakhshun Tavaratsyan, who was elected a member of the  Supreme Judicial Council on November 8, 2018, while taking the oath  on July 15, 2019, did not take part in two or more meetings this  year. She took part only in the meeting of July 15 of the current  year. Meanwhile, according to the 5 and 7 points of Article 86 of the  Judicial Code of Armenia, the powers of a member of the Council are  suspended if he/she does not participate in the meetings without  valid excuse or at least twice.
