The draft decision on launching the process of terminating the powers of the President of the Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan was presented to the Speaker of Parliament Ararat Mirzoyan. As the Speaker Mirzoyan posted in his Facebook page, according to the established procedure the draft decision has been submitted to the National Assembly Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs.

To remind, earlier, the ruling “My Step” faction approved a decision to initiate a process of suspending the powers of the President of the Armenian Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan. The news came following the statement by Parliament Speaker Ararat Mirzoyan at the National Assembly session on Monday, in which he described the Constitutional Court ruling on ex-President Kocharyan’s case as ‘ungrounded’ and ‘biased’ and suggested the parliament to express its position on the developments around the highest judicial instance of Armenia.
