There is no draft resolution in connection with resolving the crisis of the Constitutional Court (CC). Lilit Makunts, the head of the majority My Step faction in Armenia’s legislature, stated this Monday during a briefing with journalists in the National Assembly.

"You know that the Ministry of Justice has addressed [respective] inquiries to the Venice Commission, after receiving feedback from where, the My Step faction will discuss proceed with which option. We do not rule out that we will proceed with the very option that is being circulated," she added.

To note, the authorities are considering the option according to which, the serving CC judges who have been in office for more than 12 years shall resign, new judges shall be elected, after which a CC President shall be elected. In the case of this model, although Hrayr Tovmasyan will be deprived of his current post of CC President, he will remain a judge of the CC, as he became a member of the Constitutional Court only in 2018.
