Armenia's parliamentary opposition to apply to CC to dispute NA speaker election results
Armenia's parliamentary opposition - "Armenia" and "I Have Honor" factions - will apply to Constitutional Court to recognize the results of the elections of the parliament speaker invalid.
Member of "Armenia" faction Artsvik Minasyan stated at the parliament sitting today that the elections of the NA speaker were illegal as arrested deputies - Mkhitar Zakaryan and Artur Sargsyan - the other candidates for the post - did not have opportunity to participate in the elections.
He stressed that their arrest is illegal.
Yesterday the parliamentary majority elected Alen Simonyan speaker of the new parliament.
