STEPANAKERT. – Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) President Arayik Harutyunyan, based on Paragraph 4, Part 3 of Article 62 and Part 6 of Article 78 of the law "Regulations of the National Assembly," on Tuesday appealed to the National Assembly Chairman to return the draft amendment to the Constitution of the Artsakh withdrawing it from circulation.

The basis for such a decision was the various political objective and subjective assessments voiced during the implementation of the initiative to amend the Constitution of Artsakh as well as the negative public reaction to the draft amendment, which could become another cause of internal dissidence and tension, the Artsakh President's Office informs Armenian News-NEWS.am.
