The recall of controversial bills on Thursday is not linked to Armenia parliament speaker Ararat Mirzoyan’s meeting with EU and OSCE envoys, said My Step ruling bloc MP, chair of Armenian standing committee on state and legal affairs, Vladimir Vardanyan.

According to him, the bills were withdrawn purely for technical reasons, and this has nothing to do with the meeting.

“This project will not likely be discussed, only the draft on amendments to the Armenian Constitution will remain on the agenda,” he said adding there are no unconstitutional manifestations in the process.

The My Step MP Sisak Gabrielyan, in turn, said that the draft amendment to the constitution should receive 88 votes, that is 2/3 of the MPs.

As reported earlier, a special sitting of the Armenian parliament was convened Thursday, the agenda of which included 2 issues. However, the initiator recalled the drafts included in the agenda of the session for technical revision. The agenda of the special meeting should have included consideration of the legislative initiative of My Step faction MP Vahagn Hovakimyan, which is aimed at neutralizing the participation of the Constitutional Court in constitutional reforms. While, one of the bills provides for an amendment to the transitional provisions of the Constitution, according to which the powers of the members of the Constitutional Court, elected before April 2018, are suspended.
