My step ruling bloc MP Vahagn Hovakimyan spoke about the delay in resolving the Constitutional Court crisis. His remarks came Monday at the parliament.

According to him, the referendum on constitutional amendments has not been held amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but it harms the country's development and reforms.

"Armenia deserves public trust in the Constitutional Court. We are all responsible for resolving the crisis in the Constitutional Court and for ensuring the normal development of the country.

We will vote in the name of the Republic of Armenia," he added.

The National Assembly (NA) of Armenia has kicked off its special sitting on the agenda of which there is only one issue: to make amendments in the Constitution.

According to the respective bill submitted by 54 MPs of the majority My Step faction in parliament, it is proposed to make amendments in Article 213 of the Constitution.

Accordingly, the powers of the Constitutional Court (CC) judges who have been in office for over 12 years shall be terminated. The remaining judges shall continue to serve until they complete their 12 years in this capacity.

Besides, it is proposed that the term of office of the serving president of the Constitutional Court shall cease, after which the next president of the Constitutional Court shall be elected in accordance with Article 166 of the Constitution.
