Zaruhi Postanjyan joined protesting lawyers
Armenia's Constitutional Court has postponed the hearing of the suit filed by Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovannisian. CC member Felix Tokhyan asked to postpone the discussion of the case for two weeks, stressing the need to study the additional documents and international experience.
Former presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian applied to the Constitutional Court to dispute the constitutionality of Articles 18 (pt. 5) and 26 (pt. 2) of the Armenian Electoral Code. The National Assembly is involved in the hearing as the defendant.
Lawyer Karen Mejlumyan and MP Zaruhi Postanjyan, a lawyer by background, represent Hovannisian's interests in court.
Zaruhi Postanjyan today refused to answer questions on the case saying she had joined the move of lawyers protesting against the ‘arbitrariness' of the Court of Cassation.
The next court hearing is slated for June 16.
