ArmInfo. The "Bright Armenia" opposition faction is not going to join the initiative of its colleagues from Prosperous Armenia to collect signatures to appeal to the Constitutional Court to recognize the unconstitutionality of the adopted law on the Constitutional Court. Head of the "Bright Armenia" party and faction Edmon Marukyan stated at the press conference.
To recall, on June 22, the Armenian parliament in the second and final reading adopted the draft amendments to the Armenian Constitution through the constitutional law. According to the document, the powers of judges of the Constitutional Court, who have been in office for more than 12 years, must be terminated. After the vacant posts of judges are taken, the election of a new head of the Constitutional Court will take place. The President of Armenia has already signed the law this morning.
Nevertheless, as Marukyan stated, the party's steps will be exclusively in the legal framework and in no case will serve the interests of both the current government and the previous one.
