ArmInfo. Yelk bloc will appeal to the Constitutional Court to clarify the legality of the provision on holding the election of the 4th President of Armenia in the National Assembly. Nikol Pashinyan, the head of the bloc faction, wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"We intend to demand from the Constitutional Court that the position of the NA Constitution on holding elections of the 4th president in the National Assembly be unconstitutional," he said.
To appeal to the Constitutional Court, signatures of 21 deputies are necessary, in connection with which the "Elk" bloc appealed to the "Tsaroukyan" bloc.
A number of experts believe that the election of the fourth president should go through the old order, that is, through a national vote, since Article 125 of the Constitution, providing for the secondary presidential election, takes effect on the first day of his term. Other experts argue that this issue is regulated by the transitional 211 article of the Constitution, which stipulates that presidential elections must be held in accordance with Article 125 of the Constitution not earlier than 30 days and not later than 40 days after the expiration of the powers of the incumbent president.
