ArmInfo.The Constitutional Court is not trusted by public, and this is one of the causes of the crisis around this structure. Head of the parliamentary fraction "My Step" Lilit Makunts stated on February 3 in an interview with reporters.
She noted that the authorities submitted that they did everything possible to resolve the crisis in the Constitutional Court within the framework of the law and the Constitution. "We are obliged to resolve this issue within the framework of our constitutional obligations. It is in connection with this issue that we intend to convene an extraordinary parliamentary meeting. But I can't say exactly when it will take place," Makunts said. The head of the "My Step" faction also commented on the legislative initiative of the faction's MS Vahagan Hovakimyan, aimed at neutralizing the participation of the Constitutional Court in constitutional reforms. In particular, Makunts stated that the head of the Constitutional Court, while in office, repeatedly made political statements.
It should be noted that on January 30, Parliament Speaker Ararat Mirzoyan decided to convene an extraordinary meeting on February 6. The agenda of the meeting included consideration of the legislative initiative of MP Vahagn Hovakimyan. This initiative was aimed at neutralizing the participation of the Constitutional Court in constitutional reforms. Mirzoyan decided to discuss the bill submitted for urgent consideration simultaneously in the first and second reading. However, according to the regulations of the National Assembly, to discuss the bill, both in the first and second readings, a substantiated written proposal of MPs or factions is necessary at the same time, which must be approved at a meeting of the Council of Parliament, which was not done. Based on this, the President of the National Assembly was forced to cancel the extraordinary meeting
