Member of Parliament Vladimir Vardanyan has been nominated by President Vahagn Khachaturyan as a Constitutional Court judge.
The confirmation hearing is taking place on Tuesday during the plenary session of Parliament.
Vardanyan has been serving as an MP since 2019 and chairs the parliamentary Committee on State-Legal Affairs.
Vardanyan had been affiliated with the ruling Civil Contract for years but resigned from the party, after the President nominated him, to become nonpartisan, which is a requirement for serving in the independent judicial body.
Vardanyan vowed in parliament to remain impartial and uphold the constitution if elected. He pointed to lawmakers the oath of office for an MP.
“I have been in the Parliament for seven years, and each of us is under oath, which contains a clear requirement—to uphold the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia. From the moment of taking the oath, you assume responsibilities, and regardless of your political orientation or personal preferences, you are obliged to act in accordance with your oath,” Vardanyan said.
