YEREVAN, JUNE 26, ARMENPRESS: Chairman of Armenia’s Constitutional
Court, Gagik Harutunian, said those Armenians who would like to take
their case to the highest judicial body of the country, should first
of all learn provisions of the revised law on Constitutional Court
that was enforced on June 1.

Under the revised Armenian Constitution, beginning from July 1 all
Armenians can seek justice at the Constitutional Court but only
after exhausting chances to find it in lower courts. Harutunian said
to Armenpress that article 69 of the revised law on Constitutional
Court sets in a clear way mechanisms of how individuals can apply
to the Constitutionals Court. He said the procedure of accepting and
consideration of applications will be developed very soon.

But he predicted the majority of first applications will be those of
unaware applicants, ‘because many people still think they can take
any case to the Constitutional Court."
