UPDATE

In response to numerous inquiries from media outlets, the Constitutional Court informs that the motion submitted by the "Armenia" Alliance of Political Parties of 23 June 2026 "Regarding the impossibility of the Justice of the Constitutional Court, Seda Safaryan, Participating in the Examination of the Case", was not considered by the Constitutional Court, taking into account that, pursuant to part 3 of Article 16 of the Constitutional Law "On the Constitutional Court," the issue of impossibility of a justice of the Constitutional Court participating in the examination of a case may be raised by the justices of the Constitutional Court.

At the same time, we inform that, at the Constitutional Court's procedural session of 21 June 2026, the issue of impossibility of the Constitutional Court Justices Artak Zeynalyan, Vladimir Vardanyan, and Seda Safaryan participating in the examination of the case, on the ground prescribed by point 1 of part 1 of Article 16 of the Constitutional Law "On the Constitutional Court," was already raised by the justices of the Constitutional Court. Following the vote, the Constitutional Court adopted decisions regarding the impossibility of Justices Artak Zeynalyan and Vladimir Vardanyan participating in the examination of the case. No decision regarding the impossibility of Justice Seda Safaryan participating in the examination of the case was adopted, as it did not receive the required number of affirmative votes from justices under the Constitutional Law "On the Constitutional Court".

Please also note that pursuant to part 5 of Article 16 of the Constitutional Law "On the Constitutional Court", the procedural decision of the Constitutional Court on the aforementioned issue shall be adopted by a vote of at least two-thirds of the total number of justices of the Constitutional Court.
