The Armenian parliament resumed its Monday's special sitting and is discussing the constitutional amendments bill in the second reading.

The MPs earlier on Monday adopted, in the first reading, the draft amendments to the Constitution. A total of 88 MPs voted for the bill.

The opposition Bright Armenia and Prosperous Armenia factions are not participating in the sitting.

According to the said amendments, the Constitutional Court judges who have been in office for 12 years and more shall be removed from office, while the current president of the court, Hrayr Tovmasyan, will continue to be a judge of the court, but no longer as its president.
