The majority My Step faction of the National Assembly (NA) on Saturday is meeting with Edgar Shatiryan, who will be the new candidate for a judge of the Constitutional Court at the suggestion of the government of Armenia.

Shatiryan is a Candidate of Law, Associate Professor, and a lecturer at the Chair of Constitutional Law at Yerevan State University.

After his meeting with the My Step MPs, Vahram Avetisyan, the government’s former candidate for a judge of the Constitutional Court, had petitioned to the NA speaker to withdraw his consent to this candidature.
