For further falsification of the Constitution
The initiative on parliamentary government is linked to the latest
amendments to the Constitution (with the assistance of Venice
Commission). The amendments to the Constitution eventually established
an authoritarian system, not a semi-presidential government.
At that time, the ex-minister of justice Davit Harutiunyan falsified
the Armenian translation of the draft English text of the Constitution
proposed by the Venice Commission and falsified the English
translation of the draft Constitution adopted by the National Assembly
for the Venice Commission.
The government has thus falsified 22 articles of the Constitution
eliminating the principle of separation of powers. In the Armenian
text, the word `separation' in Article 5 of the first Constitution
have been replaced by `division' which, according to Articles 82 and
110 of the Constitution, denote administrative division. And it is
nonsense to divide legislature, executive and judiciary to parts. It
is ingenuous to expect that the new Constitution will not be falsified
unless those 22 articles are not assessed.
The press is afraid to report those falsifications. The opposition is
silent too. Without publicity the ex-minister Davit Harutiunyan will
hardly reject his achievements of 22 falsifications.
The backstage talks on parliamentary government will eventually lead
to a superauthoritarian rule.
