The incumbent authorities of Armenia have been assigned to renounce the idea of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire and the Declaration of Independence; otherwise, all their agreements will be considered unconstitutional. This is what former Chief of Staff of the Constitutional Court of Armenia Edgar Ghazaryan said during a press conference today.
According to him, this is exactly the reason why Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan paid a visit to the Constitutional Court a few days ago. He added that, in all senses, this visit is illegal since it contains signs of a criminally punishable act.
“It’s a criminal offense. As a matter of fact, no judge of the Constitutional Court attended the meeting since there are only two judges left in the Constitutional Court, including Hrayr Tovmasyan and Arevik Petrosyan. A judge of the Constitutional Court simply can’t meet with the Prime Minister since the Constitutional Law on the Constitutional Court requires that judges of the Constitutional Court maintain political restraint and not take part in this or that political process,” Ghazaryan clarified.
