HAYOTS YERKIR INITIATIVE GROUP PROPOSES OWN VERSION OF NEW ARMENIAN
CONSTITUTION
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 22. ARMINFO. The Hayots Yerkir initiative group
proposes its own original version of new Armenian constitution with a
no less original mechanisms of its adoption.
The member of the group Khachik Chilingaryan says that now that delay
is similar to death one should immediately change the "completely
rotten and compromised" current system of government. This requires an
absolutely new constitution rather than some constitutional
amendments. The group's constitution stipulates particularly that the
president and the constitutional court chairman should be elected once
in 7 years, the parliament should consist of 2 chambers the second one
comprising representatives of Diaspora and the regions.
The state budget should also consist of 2 parts: internal budget and
Diaspora related budget. Any unpopular governmental action should be
considered at a nationwide referendum without preliminary
parliamentary discussion. The people should have the right to dismiss
(through referendum) any top official.
The group member Agasi Manukyan is sure that the government will
reject such a democratic constitution. The text of the constitution
will be placed on the group's web-site www.armenianworld.narod.ru.
In a month the group will meet again to set up coordinating groups for
explaining the constitution to the people. "As soon as people are
aware of the constitution they will rise on such a mass scale that the
government will not dare to oppose and will be forced to adopt the
constitution," say the group members.
