YEREVAN. - The Constitutional Court of Armenia will resume on May
29 the oral examination of the Armenian National Congress' (ANC)
formal petition to cancel the results of the May 6 National Assembly
elections.
The Court made such decision when the petitioner asked for time to
fully respond to several questions posed by the respondent.
Also, the Court decided that the claimant must send the answers to
the Court.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the Constitutional Court
is orally examining Friday the ANC's formal petition to cancel the
results of the May 6 National Assembly elections.
Central Electoral Commission Chairman Tigran Mukuchyan, who is
recognized as the respondent, motioned the Court to dismiss the
petition on the grounds that it is unsubstantiated, but the Court
rejected Mukuchyan's plea.
Attorney Vahe Grigoryan and ANC Central Office Coordinator Levon
Zurabyan represent the ANC, and Zurabyan recorded that the voter
turnout number is inflated. He considered a 1.5 million turnout to
be amusing and noted that 1,080,000 had actually voted at best.
To note, six single-mandate MP candidates have likewise appealed
to the Constitutional Court with a request to cancel the election
results. Their petitions will be examined in June.
