ArmInfo. Prosperous Armenia  faction does not express its point of view on the initiative of the  My Step bloc to terminate the powers of President of the  Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan. On October 2, in an interview  with reporters, said  head of the "My step" bloc Lilit Makunts.

She noted that the My Step bloc did not understand the reason why the  PAP decided not to express a position on this issue. Nevertheless,  according to her, the "My Step" bloc will have to accept such a  position of the PAP into account.

Makunts also commented on the statements of the head of Prosperous  Armenia Gagik Tsarukyan that the National Assembly should not deal  with the termination of the powers of the head of the Constitutional  Court. "On this issue, I agree with Gagik Tsarukyan, but the  parliament does not make a decision on this issue. The parliament  just presented the initiative that the Constitutional Court will  consider and it will solve this issue," the head of the "My Step"  bloc emphasized.

It should be noted that today in a conversation with reporters, head  of the Prosperous Armenia faction Gagik Tsarukyan said in an  interview with reporters that the PAP will not take part in the  voting on the draft termination of the powers of the head of the  Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan.

To recall, on September 24 the Permanent Parliamentary Commission on  State and Legal Issues gave a positive conclusion to the initiative  of the "My Step" bloc to appeal to the Constitutional Court to  terminate the powers of President of the Constitutional Court Hrayr  Tovmasyan.

To recall, the parliament will be able to make a decision on appeal  to the Constitutional Court only after discussing the issue by secret  ballot at a 3/5 vote ratio. However, the final decision will be made  by the CC itself. This requires the votes of at least six judges.
