Amendments in the Election Code clarify the role of the Constitutional
Court in deliberating election disputes. "Peculiarities of the
defined procedures will contribute to the organization of democratic
elections and will enlarge the responsibility of those institutes
that have powers. They can not more hide under other structures,"
Gagik Harutunyan, chairman of Constitutional Court told a conference
on the role of Constitutional Court in elections.
Janni Bukikio, secretary of Venice Committee of the Council of Europe,
said the decisions of the Constitutional Court must stem from the
interests of people. "In democracy, a Constitutional Court must
be transparent and fair in order its decisions be called legal,"
Bukikio said. /Panorama.am/
