Even though the draft constitutional amendments are risky, there are many expectations regarding a positive progress. 

MP Mikayel Melkumyan of the opposition Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), which supports these amendments, said the abovementioned at Monday’s talk in Odzun village in the Lori Province.

He noted this within the framework of the ongoing TV program devoted to the proposed constitutional amendments, ahead of the forthcoming respective referendum.

“There are problems that should be resolved once and for all, by inserting law and order in the legal framework,” Melkumyan added.

As per the PAP deputy, the new model Constitution is an attempt to create governance in Armenia where the government will be accountable to the body politic for its inaction.

Mikayel Melkumyan also stressed that the proposed new Constitution envisions expanding the powers of the political opposition.

The referendum on Armenia’s draft constitutional amendments is slated for December 6.

Pursuant to the new draft Constitution, the country will make a transition from a semi-presidential to a parliamentary system of governance, and conduct completely proportional parliamentary elections.

The opponents of the proposed constitutional amendments, however, consider them to be primarily the authorities’ attempt to hang on to power.
