YEREVAN, MAY 29, ARMENPRESS. Acting President of the Supreme Judicial Council Gevorg Danielyan has requested the parliament to initiate an election of a new member of the judicial watchdog.

The Supreme Judicial Council is comprised of 10 members. 1 seat was vacated when Gagik Harutyunyan resigned as President of the Supreme Judicial Council, because he was also concurrently a member.

Danielyan said on Facebook that by law the election of a new member must be held within three months after the position being vacated.
