ArmInfo. My nomination as a judge of the Constitutional Court was clearly a political decision. Vahe Grigoryan, a lawyer and candidate for the position of a judge of the Constitutional Court, said this on June 13 after meeting with the MPs of the My Step faction.
Grigorian said that if he is elected, he will be able to cooperate successfully both with the authorities and with the opposition. “We were acquainted with representatives of the ruling bloc long before they became power. We helped each other on many issues, so it’s logical that they would like to see me in this position. I think they will vote in favor,” he stressed. As for the Prime Minister’s appeal to block the entrances and exits of the buildings of the courts, Grigoryan said that he sees nothing illegal in this. “This is not my workstyle, but everything is within the law. If at the call of a government representative it is possible to exert pressure on the judiciary, then there are serious concerns about the competence of this authority. It’s necessary to focus on this,” he stressed.
