After the Constitutional reforms when the citizens were given the right
to turn to the Constitutional Court a number of applications have been
registered. Today more than 300 citizens have turned to the Court.

11 cases have been accepted, and two of the individual applications
have already been considered.

"There are no problems in connection with individual applications as
the procedure is clearly defined", President of the Constitutional
Court Gagik Haroutyunyan informed the journalists today. "The only
problem is that too many people apply to the Court".

After the Constitutional amendments the deputies can turn to
the Constitutional Court collecting the signatures of 1/5 of the
Parliamentarians, instead of 1/3, as before. The Ombudsman too has
the right to turn to the Constitutional Court.
