New Justice Minister supports Pashinyan`s policy, including efforts  to normalize relations with Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. If I did not support the policy being pursued by  Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, I would not hold this position, as stated by Srbuhi Galyan, the newly appointed Minister of Justice, during a conversation with reporters on November 7.

In this regard, reporters reminded her that the current government  has recognized Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan, which resulted in  thousands of casualties, war and territorial losses, including parts  of Armenia.  They asked if she was ready to take on her share of  responsibility, Galyan noted that she had made her decision fully  aware of all responsibilities. When asked if she agrees with the  government's stance on Artsakh and the significance of recognizing  Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, the minister responded that she  fully supports the current Armenian prime minister's peace agenda   ideology

"Our state has gone through difficult trials, and the problems we are  currently dealing with were unforeseen. In this situation, I support  the concept of "Real Armenia", where everyone, including myself,  works towards creating a safe and peaceful environment in our  country," Galyan added.  When asked if she had familiarized herself  with the draft peace treaty, considering the authorities' statements  that the head the Ministry of Justice would play a crucial role in  the signing process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Galyan replied  negatively. She mentioned that it was her third day in the new role  and it was physically impossible to do everything. "However, I have  taken on the responsibility of providing legal support for these  processes," Galyan added. 

Additionally, the head of the Ministry of Justice evaded addressing  the issue of Baku, allegedly leaking information about a clause  regarding diplomatic and legal disputes with Armenia, which involves  a decision not to pursue legal actions in international courts. "I  fully support the ideology of "Real Armenia" and  have taken on the  responsibility of providing legal support throughout the process,"  the new Minister of Justice simply reiterated.
