YEREVAN. – Khundkaryan was one of my favorite candidates Hrayr Tovmasyan, former president and now ordinary judge of the Constitutional Court of Armenia, on Friday told this to reporters outside the Court.

"When I listed who could be the [new] president of the Constitutional Court, he was among them; but that has zero significance. If he is my most preferred candidate but he is directed from outside, this will be my conduct," Tovmasyan added.

And when asked where he saw the connection that Constitutional Court Judge Yervand Khundkaryan's candidacy as the next president of the Court was being directed by the authorities, Hrayr Tovmasyan answered: " That was my impression. Now, how can I explain my impressions, feelings? From people's behavior, people's speech, conduct, etc."
