YEREVAN. – This morning the Special Investigation Service (SIS) of Armenia will interview president Hrayr Tovmasyan of the Constitutional Court. Tovmasyan will be interviewed in the court building.

Speaking to Armenian News-NEWS.am, Hrayr Tovmasyan's lawyer Amram Makinyan said Tovmasyan will be interviewed as a witness, but the lawyer does not know along the lines of which case.

There is also a picket at the courtyard of the Constitutional Court. There are politicians and lawyers there, too.

Yesterday, President Armen Sarkissian signed a package of laws enabling the current Constitutional Court judges to apply for early retirement.

Soon after, the SIS investigators went to the Constitutional Court, but it was unclear what the purpose was.

It was later reported that the SIS had filed an additional charge against Norayr Panosyan, whose wedding best man was Hrayr Tovmasyan, and on these grounds again petitioned to the court to arrest Panosyan again.
