Armenian CC`s President Hrayr Tovmasyan`s father and daughters were summoned to NSS

ArmInfo.Armenian Constitutional Court's President Hrayr Tovmasyan's father and daughters were summoned to the National Security Service. Sister of Hrayr Tovmasyan,  Angela Tovmasyan, stated this.  She also noted that NSS officials  said they were summoned for a conversation.

We tried to contact the press service of the NSS of Armenia, however, we did not receive an  answer.  It should be noted that on the basis of a statement by the  independent MP of the National Assembly of Armenia Arman Babajanyan,  the Special Investigation Service opened a criminal case on the  seizure of state power by a group of persons.

Arman Babajanyan submitted to the Prosecutor General's Office that a  group of persons had usurped power. On the basis of the application  to the SIS, a criminal case was initiated under Article 300 of the RA  Criminal Code (seizing power through the use of violence or the  threat of violence, as well as the appropriation of the powers of the  President, NA President, the Government or the Constitutional Court  by methods not provided for by the Constitution). A preliminary  investigation is being conducted in the case.

The statement of the MP concerns the legality of the chairmanship of  the President of the Constitutional Court of Armenia Hrayr Tovmasyan  in this position. The MP in his message to the Prosecutor General's  Office noted that Tovmasyan committed violations of the law upon  assuming this position in 2018. That is, Tovmasyan's MP duties were  formally terminated without a corresponding statement, on the basis  of a nonexistent justification by the then NA President. According to  Babajanyan, MP duties cannot be terminated on non-existent grounds. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
