Paragraph 29
 

In a number of states dysfunctions of parliament can lead to a decision of the Head of State to dissolve Parliament. In one State – Belarus – a “systematic and gross violation of the Constitution by the Chambers of the Parliament” can lead to dissolution by the President. In four States – Armenia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine– Parliament can be dissolved if it fails to reach a quorum or to hold a session for a certain period. In one State, Kyrgyzstan, Parliament can be dissolved in the event of a crisis caused by insurmountable differences between the houses of the Jogorku Kenesh or between one or both houses of the Jogorku Kenesh and other branches of state power.
