BEGINNING FROM JUNE 1 ARMENIANS CAN SEEK JUSTICE AT CONSTITUTIONAL COURT

YEREVAN, JUNE 26, ARMENPRESS: Chairman of Armenia’s Constitutional Court, Gagik Harutunian, said those Armenians who would like to take their case to the highest judicial body of the country, should first of all learn provisions of the revised law on Constitutional Court that was enforced on June 1.
Under the revised Armenian Constitution, beginning from July 1 all Armenians can seek justice at the Constitutional Court but only after exhausting chances to find it in lower courts. Harutunian said to Armenpress that article 69 of the revised law on Constitutional Court sets in a clear way mechanisms of how individuals can apply to the Constitutionals Court. He said the procedure of accepting and consideration of applications will be developed very soon.
But he predicted the majority of first applications will be those of unaware applicants, ‘because many people still think they can take any case to the Constitutional Court.”
