ArmInfo. At the meeting on June 30, the Government of Armenia nominated lawyer Seda Safaryan for the position of judge of the Constitutional Court.
Deputy Minister of Justice of Armenia Grigor Minasyan, presenting the draft decision, noted that the term of office of the judge of the Constitutional Court Arevik Petrosyan expires on December 10. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan noted that the decision was political and considered it logical. "I believe that my direct participation in the implementation of constitutional justice will be crowned with success and you will not regret nominating me for this high position," Seda Safaryan said in her turn.
Seda Safaryan (sister of the head of the Public Council of Armenia) represented the interests of the victims in the "March 1" case against former president Robert Kocharyan. She participated in the 2021 parliamentary elections as a member of the Shirinyan-Babajanyan Alliance of Democrats.
It should be noted that the term of office of two judges of the Constitutional Court Ashot Khachatryan and Arevik Petrosyan expires in December. Former Minister of Justice Artak Zeynalyan also expressed his desire to run for the position of judge of the Constitutional Court.
The judge of the Constitutional Court will be elected by the National Assembly by secret ballot.
