Measure on sending CC judges to early pension aims at filing the structure with own people: Prosperous Armenia faction lawmaker
When chairman of the Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan was applying to Venice Commission he was said to be “bringing guys from outside” while now the current authorities applied to the Venice Commission, lawmaker from Prosperous Armenia faction Gevorg Petrosyan stated at the NA’s State Legal Affairs Standing Committee session.
“Does it mean that you are free to apply to the Venice Commission and the others are not? If there is an issue to free from undesirable people from the CC and fill it with the desirable ones be kind and confess the truth. My opinion is that the purpose to bring own people and get rid of the concrete members of the CC stands behind the bill on sending the CC judges to early pension. Then you will try to ratify the agreements threatening Armenia’s national security,” the lawmaker said.
Justice minister Rustam Badasyan said there is no biased attitude against any of the judges of the Constitutional Court.
“Our issue is to solve the crisis over the CC, we have no aim to differentiate the judges,” he said.
