ArmInfo. We are discussing the possible elimination of the institution of the Constitutional Court. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan announced this during a press conference.
The Prime Minister noted that the issue of creating the Supreme Court is being considered. <This practice is quite common in many countries. The fact is that today the Constitutional Court and the judicial system are practically not connected with each other.
In this regard, a number of problems arise>, said Pashinyan. He said that if by the end of next year it becomes obvious that there are no special changes in the judicial system, then fundamental reforms will be implemented in this area. As for the funds allocated for the referendum on introducing estates into the Constitution, the Prime Minister emphasized that they budget has these capabilities.
<If there is no referendum, then these funds will be spent on other purposes. As for the referendum itself, we will not be able to conduct it under the conditions of the coronavirus, since we will jeopardize the health and lives of our elderly compatriots. But the issue related to the crisis of the Constitutional Court should be resolved in one way or another>, Pashinyan concluded.
