The Armenian authorities are putting pressure on Constitutional Court Judge Edgar Styrian to withdraw his candidacy for the position of head of the court: "Harperak" the ruling power wants to see Vladimir Vardanian, former deputy and former head of the Committee on State and Legal Affairs, as chairman of the Constitutional Court. However, during the elections on October 14, Verdinyan was ahead of Shtirian - 5 judges voted for him, while 4 judges voted for Verdinyan, including himself. New elections must be held no earlier than 10 and no later than 30 days after the second round of voting. Now the authorities want Shtyrian not to run again.
