YEREVAN. – Even if thousands of constitutional amendments are made in Armenia, the course of the regional processes will not change as a result.

Vice-chairwoman of the opposition Free Democrats Party, Anush Sedrakyan, stated the aforementioned on Tuesday.

In her words, the current regional balance is working against Armenia.

“What is taking place in Armenia’s foreign policy is more than apparent,” Sedrakyan continued. “The passing of the constitutional amendments is a very unimportant process, which will ensure a new ‘reproduction’ of the [ruling] power [in the country].

“We have a regional conflict. Is transitioning to a parliamentary model of governance a means of avoiding [respective] accountability?”

On October 5, the National Assembly passed, and by a vast majority of votes, the decision on agreeing to hold a referendum on the draft amendments to the Constitution.

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

And the President has set December 6 as Referendum Day.
