ArmInfo.The MPs of the National Assembly have enough time to meet with the candidate for the position of a judge of the Constitutional Court Vahram Avetisyan. This was stated during a press conference by head of the "My Step" faction, MP Lilit Makunts.
Makunts noted that parliamentary factions can invite Vahram Avetisyan to a meeting. "The <My Step> faction intends to organize a meeting with Avetisyan in the near future. During this meeting, we will ask him all the questions that concern us. After we hold this meeting, the MPs will be able to express their point of view regarding the candidacy of Avetisyan, "the MP stressed.
To note, on July 23, the governments nominated Vahram Avetisyan, a judge of the Constitutional Court, for the position of candidate. Earlier, Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Ararat Mirzoyan signed a law on amendments to the law "On the Constitutional Court", which was adopted on June 30. In accordance with them, the powers of all judges of the Constitutional Court are limited to 12 years.
After the amendments were adopted, three judges who had worked for more than 12 years were dismissed: Alvina Gyulumyan, Hrant Nazaryan and Felix Tokhyan. Chairman of the court, Hrayr Tovmasyan, has become an ordinary judge. New judges will now be elected instead. One candidate is proposed by the government, the second - by the president, the third - by the General Assembly of Judges.
