ArmInfo.Any issue related to the Constitutional Court, the issue that will be discussed by the National Assembly, in no case will go beyond the powers of parliamentarians. Head of the Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs Vladimir Vardanyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
"The solution to the problem around the Constitutional Court should have a constitutional basis. This solution should allow us, as soon as possible, to get the Constitution out of a forced downtime. We must come up with a solution that will allow us all to find legal regulations that in no way interfere with the natural work of constitutional institutions authorities, "he stressed.
To recall, today's extraordinary meeting of the parliament, at which the issue of introducing amendments to the regulation excluding the need for the signing of the President of Armenia and approval of the Constitutional Court for the resignation of its head, was postponed to Thursday.
"The initiator of the meeting, the My Step faction, withdrew two of its projects included in the agenda due to certain technical problems. This morning, the initiator put into circulation a new, similar project with no changes in content, and the faction requested to convene a new extraordinary meeting," Ararat Mirzoyan said, opening the meeting of the parliament.
Commenting on the statement of the President of the Venice Commission Gianni Buquicchio regarding the confrontation around the Constitutional Court, Vardanyan described it as a call primarily to the judges of the Constitutional Court, a call to abstain from activities that could lead to an escalation of the situation and not go beyond constitutional regulations. And, of course, Buquicchio addressed his statement to all state structures of Armenia.
"First of all, this appeal prevailed in the statement, and not criticism of the authorities, as some try to present. It is no coincidence that it refers to the institution of early retirement, as well as the need to refrain from public rhetoric that could jeopardize constitutional processes, "the parliamentarian summed up.
