The creation of the bicameral system of parliament with Diaspora representatives will contribute to solving pan-Armenian issues, Hrayr Karapetyan, the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs, MP from the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) told a press conference on Friday.

The MP underscored those, backing the idea of creating a bicameral parliament, support a problem solution of all Armenian people. “Those opposing this idea think as our enemies,” Karapetyan said. The parliamentarian stressed the significance of Armenia’s adoption of a bicameral parliament and noted institutional approaches to the implementation of this idea will be clarified in the process.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, during a recent meeting with representatives of the Armenian community in California, Armenian Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan spoke of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s intention to make amendments to the Constitution and turn the country’s national assembly into a bicameral parliament. It will grant Diaspora representatives an opportunity to become members of the Upper Chamber and participate in state governance in Armenia.
