NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEPUTIES APPEALED TO CONSTITUTIONAL COURT TO RECOGNIZE THE LAW ON ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION ENTERPRISES PRIVATIZATION UNCONSITUTIONAL

PanARMENIAN.Net - Today a group of deputies of the National Assembly of Armenia appealed to the Constitutional Court demanding to recognize the Law on privatization of electricity enterprises of Armenia, which had been passed this summer, as not having legal effect. The members of the Parliament do not raise the question of accordance of the Law to the Constitution, but draw the attention of the court to illegal, in their view, mode of its adoption. The deputies consider the Law was passed by breaking the National Assembly regulations. 54 deputies voted for passing the Law but, as the authors of the appeal maintain, it came to light later that one of the deputies voted not only for himself, but also for his absent colleague. The Constitutional Court has to consider the appeal within a 30-day period.
