Parliament Speaker on the election of the Minister of Justice: I  think it`s important to reassess our approach and consider candidates  not only from the ranks of the ruling party

ArmInfo. I believe that we need to reassess our approach and consider candidates not only from the ranks of the ruling party. In a similar way, during a briefing on  October 23, Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan  responded to journalists' question regarding the lack of a candidate  for the Minister of Justice position.  <And this is the right  decision. We have many good examples>, he said.

Simonyan noted that it was still not possible to find the right  person, as 80% of the candidates presented claimed to be satisfied  with their current positions and are skilled specialists in their  field. <But I am confident that we will have a candidate in the near  future,> the head of the Parliament emphasized.  At the same time, he  noted that discussions were held with potential candidates for the  Minister of Justice role. The candidates were interviewed, shared  their vision for the development of the sphere, and so on.  <As a  result of these discussions, we came to the conclusion that we do not  yet have a candidate on whom we can place such a heavy burden>, said  Simonyan, emphasizing that having a legal background is a  prerequisite for this position.
