The Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs of the National Assembly is discussing a draft law submitted by the Ministry of Justice on making amendments and supplements to the Judicial Code as well as to the Law on the Constitutional Court and related laws.

There is also a provision in the draft which reads: “Regardless of age, the Constitutional Court judge who has resigned in the period from 1 August to 31 October, 2019, shall have the salary, allowances and social security guaranteed until his /her resignation, until he/she reaches the age of tenure, except for the case of passing to public service. A judge of the Constitutional Court shall receive a pension prescribed by law after reaching the age of tenure.” 

MP Taron Simonyan noted that if the executive body enforces the Constitutional Court’s decisions, then it turns out that the Constitutional Court does not enjoy confidence.
