CC demands knowledge of language from journalists
After the Constitutional Court's November 15 ruling on the appeal filed by the RA Ombudsman, several officials and individuals have expressed views on the legal effects of that ruling.
The CC press service has issued a press release in which it is stated that "unfortunately, that is information that was disseminated as a result of lack of awareness or improper study of the ruling".
"First, the Constitutional Court has not simply recognized Article 1087.1 of the RA Civil Code as compatible with the RA Constitution, but has recognized it as such within the framework of the content of the Constitution that emanates from the legal positions expressed in the ruling and the international obligations of the Republic of Armenia.
The positions and the obligations are clearly stated in the decision and are mandatory for those enforcing it. Only the provisions of the disputed article can be considered constitutional.
Secondly, the thesis that this decision won't have an impact on the cases already being examined in courts is wrong," as stated in the text of the press release of the Constitutional Court.
The Constitutional Court's ruling has gone into effect since 15 November 2011 and nobody enforcing laws can violate it.
"If that provision of the law is applied through another interpretation than the positions presented by the Constitutional Court, it will be anti-constitutional and that judicial act will be subject to revision based on the latest amendments made in the RA law "On the Constitutional Court" and by the force of regulating laws that has gone into effect starting on November 22," as stated in the text of the press release.
