YEREVAN. – President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan is willing to carry out constitutional reforms to reproduce his power, analyst Yervand Bozoyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The current system was adopted in 1995 as it was the most unbiased system for transition to semi-presidential government.

“According to the changes in 2005, the essence of this system has not changed, only the Government and the National Assembly received more powers. Today Armenia is experiencing regression rather than progress. Constitutional reforms are necessary, but we need to change the guidelines of the country,” Bozoyan said.

He believes the constitutional reforms can be carried out in 5-10 years. However, this should not be done amid destroyed economic system.

“The real motivation for constitutional reforms is that the incumbent president can not reproduce his power, but will be able to in case of transition to a parliamentary form of government.  All is done in the interests of one person,” the analyst added.

Armenia marks Constitution Day on July 5.
