YEREVAN. – Thirty-four MPs have joined the signature campaign to petition to Armenia’s Constitutional Court. Opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) National Assembly (NA) Faction leader Levon Zurabyan told this to news reporters Tuesday at the parliament.  

In his words, solely 24 signatures were needed to be able to petition to the Court, and with a request to declare unconstitutional the NA Regulations’ provision, pursuant to which the NA political majority can call off the opposition’s initiative to convene a special session.

The ANC, Prosperous Armenia Party, and opposition Heritage Party MPs have joined this signature campaign. The opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party MPs, however, did not join this initiative. As per Zurabyan, ARF proposes to first petition to the NA Ethics Committee.
