Tovmasyan thanked parliament deputies for placing their trust in him and promised to do his utmost to ensure that “our nation becomes free and happy.”

Hrayr Tovmasyan, a former MP who served as the Armenian Minister of Justice (2010-2013), was elected to Armenia’s Constitutional Court earlier this month.
