ArmInfo. A protest action is  being held in front of the building of the Armenian Parliament, which  is being carried out by the Movement to Save the Motherland. An  ArmInfo correspondent reports.

Today the parliament of Armenia is holding an extraordinary session,  during which the issue of "On introducing amendments and additions to  the judicial code of Armenia" will be discussed. According to the  planned changes, it is assumed that an institution of judges will be  created who will specialize in ensuring control over pre-trial  proceedings, which implies arrest and search. Also, these judges will  deal with corruption crimes.

The opposition demands to cancel the consideration of this bill, as  it is aimed at persecuting opposition representatives who are  undesirable to the authorities. Opposition figures noted that instead  of dealing with topical issues, the Armenian authorities are busy  persecuting the opposition, which is unacceptable in the current  situation.
