The RA Constitutional Court rejected to start investigation of the case upon application by the HCA Vanadzor.

On November 12, 2014, the HCA Vanadzor applied to the RA Constitutional Court asking to recognize Articles 66, 67, 68 and 69 of the RA Administrative Procedure Code, to the extent they restrict challenging before the RA Administrative Court the administrative acts adopted as a result of the RA President’s foreign policy activities, as in conflict with Articles 3, 6, 18 and 19 of the RA Constitution and invalid.

As we have already informed, the HCA Vanadzor appealed to the RA Administrative Court and the RA Administrative Court of Appeal demanding to recognize unlawful RA President S. Sargsyan’s activities towards joining the Customs Union and particularly the statement of September 3, 2013.

The RA Administrative Court and the RA Administrative Court of Appeal rejected to examine the appeals above on the grounds that the RA Administrative Court was not competent to consider such appeals by referring to Articles 67, 68 and 69 of the RA Administrative Procedure Code. As a result, it becomes impossible to appeal with any judicial body in the RA the actions or inaction of the RA President.

Thereafter, the HCA Vanadzor appealed to the RA Constitutional Court, however, according to its decree of December 4, 2014, the Court rejected to consider the appeal.

Hence, the RA Constitutional Court considers recognizing unlawful or merely appealing the actions or inaction of the RA President as “indisputable”.
