Today at 10.00 the Constitutional court will continue the examination of the case based on the applications of the presidential candidate Raffi Hovhannisyan and Andrias Ghukasyan challenging the February 25 62-A decision of CEC about the “The election of the RA president”.

In the morning session the representative of CEC will continue to reply to the questions of Andrias Ghukasyan.

The Constitutional court will still hear the RA General Prosecutor’s Office and RA Police, as well as the representative of Serzh Sargsyan, as the third party.

Based on the fact that according to Article 74 of the “Law on Constitutional Court”, the Constitutional court has to make the decision about the presidential elections in 10 days after the application is filed, hence on March 14, the President of the Constitutional Court Gagik Harutyunyan on March 12 urged the parties to prepare their concluding speeches. The president of Constitutional court said that because of scarcity of time, the half an hour breaks between the sessions can be shortened.

It should be noted that according to “Law on Constitutional Court”, the Constitutional court concerning the presidential elections makes one of those decisions: to leave the decision of CEC in force or to revoke the decision of the Commission. In the second case, the Constitutional court revokes the results of the elections or considers of the candidates elected or considers the elections void, thus appointing the second phase.

The law also prescribes that if the Constitutional court according to the “Law on the Constitutional Court” exhausted all the possible means of evidence obtaining and still was unable to reveal real results of the elections, but from the evidences that were assessed as trustworthy by the Constitutional Court it became obvious that the violations were of organized, massive, repetitive and systematic nature, the combination of which results in the violations of Article 4 of RA Constitution, than the Constitutional Court can revoke the results.
