ArmInfo.The Enlightened Armenia Party has been guided by the requirements of legislation and the principles of democracy since its inception. This is stated in a statement circulated by the secretary of the Enlightened Armenia parliamentary faction Gevorg Gorgisyan. In a statement, in particular, it is noted: "A few days ago, the parliamentary majority rudely violated the Constitution of Armenia. It is possible that in the future they will be held responsible for such behavior. Enlightened Armenia will make every effort to challenge unconstitutional actions in the Constitutional Court, fencing the legal processes from political influence.
Unfortunately, there are a number of political forces that are trying to undermine the rule of law in favor of their political, clan, or personal interests. And the Enlightened Armenia party again fell victim to these political forces. But we can overcome this. But we are glad that we were in a similar situation, as it proves that we made the right decision, "the statement emphasizes.
The deputy also stressed that as long as there are citizens in the country supporting the approaches of the PA, the party will exist despite everything. "We never divided society into blacks and whites, since such actions do not come from the interests of Armenia. We always respected political opponents, not going beyond the unwritten laws of human relations, trying to give the political field a new quality. All our actions were transparent and logical. I am sure that at the right time, Enlightened Armenia will unite the forces that will contribute to its prosperity.
Maybe our opponents are afraid of it? But we have nowhere to retreat, "is the statement.
It should be noted that the Enlightened Armenia faction announced today that it was not going to join the initiative of its colleagues from Prosperous Armenia in order to collect signatures to appeal to the Constitutional Court in order to recognize the unconstitutionality of the adopted law on the Constitutional Court. After that, the party was harshly criticized by representatives of a number of political parties and political figures. The son-in-law of the third president of Armenia, the ex-ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the Vatican, Mikael Minasyan, who does not belong to any party, prosecuted and left Armenia, was especially sharp. Recall that 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 the 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.
