ArmInfo. Any decision of the Constitutional Court, except going
back to the presidential election results, will cause a deficit
of legitimacy in the country, moreover, it will be understood and
accepted by neither the Armenian people nor the world community,
RA presidential contender Levon Ter-Petrosyan said today in the
Constitutional Court, where hearings on the suit of RA presidential
contenders Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Tigran Karapetyan are held.
As L. Ter-Petrosyan said, a number of provisions of the Constitution
are still violated in the country as, under conditions of the state of
emergency, no election are held in the country. Meanwhile, hearings
on the election are underway in CC. It means that the process has
not been yet completed. The process in CC is covered by the Mass
Media one-sidedly, that violates the right for equal coverage of
presidential contenders. "Many of my supporters, who are important
witnesses, have been arrested. RA Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan, being
a presidential contender, keeps on executing the prime minister's
duties, that is also a violation of the Constitution", Ter-Petrosyan
said. He also said that the way out of the developed situation was
indicated yesterday by EU leadership and he fully agrees with them,
that is: lift the state of emergency, free all the arrested persons,
assure equal coverage of the processes by all the Mass Media, carry
out an international investigation of the events in Yerevan, as well as
start a dialogue between the opposition and the authorities, he said.
To note, the first president of Armenia strongly refused to answer
the journalists' questions, having promised to invite them to his
residence in the closest time for a large conference.
