Parliament elects new member of Supreme Judicial Council

Grigor Bekmezyan was elected on Monday new member of Armenia’s Supreme Judicial Council (SJC). Bekmezyan’s candidacy backed by the ruling “My Step” fraction was approved by 107 in favor votes during the closed voting. 
 
To remind, 5 out of the 10 Supreme Judicial Council members stepped down over the past month, including  SCJ Chairman Gagik Harutyunyan who  tendered his resignation on May 24. 
 
The Supreme Judicial Council is an independent state body comprised of ten members. Five members of the Council are elected by the General Assembly of Judges, another five members — by the National Assembly.
