The Constitutional Court (CC) of Armenia will hold its first session
ever to discuss applications by citizens, CC Staff Head Arushan
Hakobyan, told Panorama.am. The first application was about social
cards for getting pensions or family allowances, he said.
CC will deliberate on the application of Artak Zeinalyan, board
member of Republic Party, on November 14. Zeinalyan disputes part 1,
article 150 of RA Civil Judiciary Code. The Armenian courts refuse
to consider invalid decrees issued by the president of the republic
and the Armenian government based on this provision. Zeinalyan claims
that the provision contradicts article 18 of the Constitution, which
says that every person has the right for effective legal protection.
Up to this date, 328 citizens have applied to CC and 214 of them have
received legal consultations. Some applications were poorly supported
and were returned for additional information. CC has also received
applications from prisoners who wanted to appeal court rulings. The
President of the Republic, Robert Kocharyan, also applied to the CC
to deliberate the compliance of an international treaty with the main
document of the republic.
Physical entities pay AMD 5,000 and legal entities pay AMD 20,000 as
a state due for applying to CC./Panorama.am/
