Lawyer submits letter of resignation from Judicial Ethics Commission  of General Assembly of Judges

ArmInfo. Lawyer Harutyun Harutyunyan has submitted a letter of resignation from the Judicial Ethics Commission of the General Assembly of Judges. He wrote about this on his Facebook page. "As you know, amendments have been made to the RA Judicial Code (in my opinion, purposeful, since they affect me exclusively), which have left me with a dilemma: remain a member of the Ethics Commission of the General Assembly of Judges or practice  law. 

Although these amendments are unconstitutional, at least insofar as  they retroactively abolish the restrictive provision, and the  appropriate legal process will follow in this regard, a choice must  still be made now. As a free and independent professional, I  apologize to all judges without exception and hereby announce that I  am resigning as a member of the Commission today," the lawyer wrote.

He added that his resignation marks the beginning of a new struggle,  the goal of which is to build an independent judiciary.
