Armenian Constitutional Court head Hrayr Tovmasyan's attorney Amram Makinyan said they will still think about bringing the public TV company to legal liability.

A crime is already happening, the attorney told Armenian News – NEWS.am. "The head of the executive branch is already making an obvious attempt to usurp power," he said adding that there are signs of a crime.

According to media reports, coverage on Հ 1 was directed by Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan, Makinyan added. The attorney noted these issues are more serious than it seems at first glance.

The attorneys of Hrayr Tovmasyan made a statement around midnight, in which they accused the two leading TV channels of distributing investigation materials and flagrantly violating the presumption of innocence.
