Statement on the election of a judge investigating corruption crimes by the Supreme Judicial Council

The undersigned civil society organizations consider the election of Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan among the judges investigating corruption crimes by the Supreme Judicial Council as highly unacceptable and condemnable.
