PEOPLE EXPECT AN ECONOMIC, NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM - ARMENIAN MP
YEREVAN, September 17. /ARKA/. The Armenian society is not cherishing
hopes that the constitutional reform will bring about changes, member
of Prosperous Armenia parliament faction Elinar Vardanyan said.
Under a decree of the Armenian president of September 4, 2013, a
professional commission was set up to elaborate a constitutional
reform. The president is expected to sign the reform concept in
October. The draft reform package should be submitted within ten
months after the concept is approved by the president.
According to the lawmaker, there is no constitutional crisis in the
country, and the existing problems and their solutions have nothing
to do with the constitution.
The constitutional reform can be dealt with after social problems
are solved, Vardanyan said on Tuesday at a conference on the reform,
initiated by Heritage party.
The constitutional reform is an artificial agenda, with no sufficient
justification, public demand or fundamental reasons, the deputy said.
The lawmaker said the president Serzh Sargsyan, minister-head of the
government staff David Harutiunyan, the minister of education and
science Armen Ashotyan kept saying not long ago that the parliamentary
system is unacceptable for a country at war.
"What has changed during this year-half a year? Has the threat
of war disappeared, what has made them to change their views this
drastically? I see it is the problem of reproduction of power, which
is unacceptable and inadmissible", the member of the parliament said.
