The agenda that the parliamentary faction of the ruling My Step bloc is presenting isn’t in line with the current situation and isn’t to the country’s benefit. This is what secretary of the parliamentary faction of the opposition Prosperous Armenia Party Arman Abovyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on the amendments to the Judicial Code that were presented by the Government of Armenia and were adopted by the parliament yesterday.

According to him, the overall situation is such that the authorities are unable to analyze the situation correctly, draw conclusions or take normal steps. Abovyan also stated that Prosperous Armenia Party has yet to consider whether it will apply to the Constitutional Court to clarify the constitutionality of the adopted amendments.

Based on the amendments, there will be new judges who will deal with issues related to pre-trial measures. The opposition emphasizes that, with this, the authorities intend to launch massive repressions.

To apply to the Constitutional Court, there has to be one-fifth of the votes of deputies (27 votes), and the parliamentary opposition parties both have a total of 41 votes.
