"We call on the authorities of Armenia to request and consider the opinion of the Venice Commission as soon as possible," the EPP said in a tweet. The country will hold a referendum on suspending the powers of seven out of nine judges of its Constitutional Court on April 5, according to a decision signed by President Armen Sarkissian.
