Anti-constitutional decrees?
Taking the demands set forth in the RA Law on "Legal Acts" as a basis, the "Supreme Council" parliamentary group appealed today to the RA President with the request to annul the decree that was issued to appoint Manuk Vardanyan as presidential adviser.
"This is not the first time that the RA President assigns state posts not foreseen by the law, particularly:
-Deputy Head of the RA presidential administration, advisers, assistants...
-Secretary of the National Security Council
-Standing Representative of the RA President in the National Assembly
-Mayor of Yerevan and more
The RA President also assigns some posts without even noting the fact that the proposals were made by the RA Prime Minister, particularly the appointments of Yerevan mayor and RA Ministers.
In other words, the President creates posts and makes appointments in a time of crisis.
For instance, does anybody know why the Prime Minister undertook the initiative to replace ministers, or why the President infringed upon the constitutional order and proposed to replace the mayor while he praised the previous one?
As we were not able to find the corresponding resolution of the RA Prime Minister, we asked the Prime Minister today to provide us with information regarding his proposal to appoint former mayor Yervand Zakharyan as President of the State Committee on Real Estate Cadastre adjunct to the RA Government," as stated in the release of the group.
