YEREVAN. – The candidate for the post of the judge of the Constitutional Court—whether I or any other entity—must realize that he is taking on a great burden of responsibility because certain processes have taken place around the Constitutional Court in recent months, and I do not rule out that regardless of this selection phase, processes will ensue at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Edgar Shatiryan, who may be the government's candidate for a judge of the Constitutional Court, on Saturday told this to reporters before his meeting with the majority My Step faction in Armenia’s parliament.

And when asked whether what has happened around the Constitutional Court was a completely legal process, Shatiryan said as follows, in particular: "I have presented such arguments; [but] it is another question as to for which circles those approaches were acceptable.”
