Changes on the Constitutional Court Website Were Made Over a Year Ago: Fip.am

Media sources are actively sharing the Facebook post of Suren Deheryan, president of the NGO "Journalists for the Future," regarding the "rapidly" implemented changes on the website of the Constitutional Court, specifically the renaming of the subsection titled "members" in the "Structure of the Constitutional Court" section to "judges."

“If previously this subsection was called ‘Members of the Constitutional Court,’ it has now become ‘Judges of the Constitutional Court.’ These changes were made in the past two days, if not yesterday, as on Friday it was still ‘Members of the Constitutional Court.’ However, due to a minor technical oversight, this change is still noticeable,” Deheryan wrote.

Fip.am used the webpage web.archive.org to find out when these changes were made. By examining the changes made in the "Structure of the Constitutional Court" section from 2018 and 2019, it is evident that the renaming of the subsection from "Members of the Constitutional Court" to "Judges of the Constitutional Court" actually took place on May 31, 2018.

According to web.archive.org, only one change took place in the "Structure of the Constitutional Court" section in 2019, on June 21, which involved the addition of data about newly elected judge Vahe Grigoryan.

Interestingly, when accessing another subsection named "Chief of Staff" on the Constitutional Court's website, the subsection still shows as "Members of the Constitutional Court." Therefore, the widespread information regarding the "rapidly" implemented changes on the Constitutional Court's website does not correspond to reality.

It is noteworthy that Suren Deheryan updated his post a few hours later: "My colleagues assure me that they saw this change in May 2018. That is much earlier than the date I mentioned. I see no reason to disbelieve this. However, due to the technical issue I mentioned, the ‘Members of the Constitutional Court’ subsection still exists today, and I access that page as it is," Deheryan wrote.
