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-
