YEREVAN .- Armenia's Constitutional Court retired to consider the
application of plaintiffs.
Prior to that, during the hearing on the claims filed by former
presidential candidates Raffi Hovannisian and Andreas Ghukasyan,
representatives of Hovannisian introduced 11 motions.
Secretary of Heritage parliamentary group Zaruhi Postanjyan, in
particular, presented a motion for incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan
to be involved in the process as a defendant, and also that asking
to bring and recount the ballot bags from all 1,988 polling stations.
Her motion also proposed to involve as witnesses five people -
lawyers and representatives of NGOs. Constitutional Court Chairman
Gagik Harutyunyan responded to the remark: "If it goes this way,
you will suggest inviting Serj Tankian as a witness."
In his turn, Andreas Ghukasyan presented the petition to the
Constitutional Court requesting to deliver ballots from 576 polling
stations, where, according to the Central Electoral Commission,
Serzh Sargsyan received the highest number of votes.
Constitutional Court Judge Felix Tokhyan noted that it is technically
impossible. According to the 51st article of the Constitution,
the lawsuit must be considered in10 days. The term is expiring on
Thursday when the Constitutional Court will pass the verdict.
The defendant party opposed the motions.
