On 27 January, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan started a live Facebook chat with citizens about the situation and the importance of details around the Constitutional Court.
“The devil is in the details,” the Prime Minister began his speech by referring to the topic that has been debated in recent days.
“There is an undeniable fact that the election of the President of the Constitutional Court at the National Assembly was by fraud, through fraud, it was a false election, the President of the Constitutional Court was elected by fraud and what is most important here is: there were 2 logics to use this fact and to get the CC President and the CC through it to “control” or to be principled and to go through accurate legal assessments and solutions,” the Prime Minister said.
Nikol Pashinyan noted that the pen, which he received as a gift from Hrayr Tovmasyan, which, in his words, “seems a very small detail” is actually the symbol of it all. “In fact, the pen is a symbol of the fact that we could have taken such steps that the CC President would have been such a CC President as the CC President since the first day of its creation. That’s why this detail is important, principally important. I want to say that I personally have gone the other way, because I have come to realize that it is not possible to come to power through a revolution of love and solidarity and to have a puppet Constitutional Court. And when the CC President saw that we didn’t need it, he became an opposition. President of the Constitutional Court, can you imagine? He has become a political opposition, and yes, my assessment is that he has been drawn into the logic of a hybrid coup,” Nikol Pashinyan said.
He also noted that former members of the government are now traveling to different countries, appealing to various international structures, which should be investigated, as it may be related to fears of national security.
Notably, months ago, Iravaban.net conducted two investigations on this topic and presented two substantiated conclusions that:
and that
Hrayr Tovmasyan has held two incompatible positions at the same time.
Notably, during the January 25 press conference in Kapan, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that CC President Hrayr Tovmasyan had regularly offered him his services, responding to which Tovmasyan had issued a statement.
The CC President demanded that Pashinyan publicly state at least one credible fact, one objective fact to prove what he said. Hrayr Tovmasyan gave the Prime Minister 20 days to publish the fact, otherwise he would file a lawsuit against Pashinyan.
In response to this statement, the Prime Minister promised upon his arrival from Kapan to Yerevan to publicize the fact that the President of the Constitutional Court Hrayr Tovmasyan offered him his services upon his arrival from Kapan to Yerevan and posted a notice on his Facebook page and a photo of a pen attached to the post, which, according to the Prime Minister, was presented to him by Hrayr Tovmasyan.
