Investigators have found nothing while searching the apartment of Constitutional Court Chairman Hrayr Tovmasyan, his lawyer Amram Makinyan told reporters on Friday.

“They were looking for documents that could not factually exist in Mr. Tovmasyan's apartment,” he said.

“Nothing has been found and confiscated. The investigators have left [the apartment],” the lawyer added.

Makinyan stated so far neither Hrayr Tovmasyan nor his defense team has got familiarised with the search warrant issued by the court, adding they are only aware that judge Artush Gabrielyan has ordered the search at the Constitutional Court chairman’s home.

The search comes nearly one month after the Special Investigative Service charged Hrayr Tovmasyan with two counts of abuse of power.

Tovmasyan denies any wrongdoing, adding the charges are part of a “political process” aimed at forcing him to step down.
