    ARMENIAN-RUSSIAN GAS AGREEMENTS: FOUR NON-COALITION FORCES FACED WITH DILEMMA

    14:31 ~U 17.01.14

    Four non-coalition parliamentary forces are now faced with the dilemma
    about whether or not to apply to the Constitutional Court to appeal
    the parliamentary vote on the Armenian-Russian gas agreements.

    On the one hand, the opposition forces, as well as the alternative
    Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), do not want to miss this chance. On
    the other hand, if the Constitutional Court rejects the appeal,
    there will not be any chance of invalidating the agreements in case
    of power change in the country.

    The Constitutional Court has not considered public interests in passing
    verdicts on a number of cases that evoked strong public response,
    the latter option is extremely probable. The fact that Constitutional
    Court confirmed the constitutionality of the agreements means that
    Armenia will remain a hostage until 2043.

    Heritage Vice-Chairman Armen Martirosyan told Tert.am that different
    instruments for invalidating agreements are used in many countries.

    He does not consider it advisable to apply to the Constitutional
    Court because the situation has not changed in Armenia.

    "I do not think the Constitutional Court would rule the gas agreements
    as unconstitutional if the political situation is not changing,"
    Martirosyan said.

    As to the funded pensions system, he does not hold any expectations
    about the Constitutional Court either. Only in 2003, the Constitutional
    Court issues a ruling in public interests. That was a ruling on a
    referendum on confidence. Later, however, the Constitutional Court
    stated it was a proposal.
