Lawmakers from Armenia’s ruling Civil Contract party have called a special parliament session on July 14 to debate the ouster of opposition MPs who have been boycotting parliament sessions for over two months now.
They plan to apply to the Constitutional Court to strip all deputies from the opposition Hayastan and Pativ Unem factions of their seats, except for Ishkhan Zakaryan and Taguhi Tovmasyan, lawyer Robert Hayrapetyan said in a Facebook post.
The draft decision was posted on the official website of the National Assembly but was later removed.
Tsovinar Khachatryan, the spokeswoman for the parliament speaker, told Panorama.am there is no such decision at this point.
“There are no such plans for now. It's the “for now” that matters here,” she said in response to the question whether the ruling faction MPs plan to apply to the top court.
