CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS: ARF-D SHARES COMMON APPROACHES WITH REPUBLICAN
15:29 * 12.03.15
An opposition lawmaker from the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) says their political force's
approaches to the constitutional reforms coincide, in major part,
with the positions proposed by the ruling Republican Party of Armenia.
At a news conference on Thursday, Artsvik Minasyan confirmed the report
that President Serzh Sargsyan recently had a meeting with the party
to introduce the government-proposed package and hear their opinions
and objections.
Minasyan said he sees that the opinions largely converge on political
and economic issues and proposals concerning the local government,
the judiciary and a joint political system representing both the
political majority and the opposition.
Minasyan said he finds the proposed clauses justified enough to be
addressed in future. "The timeframes and the phases of the core text's
elaboration will be clear thereafter," he noted.
The opposition MP was concerned to note that constitutional reforms are
often considered in their integrity, without a further insight into
details. "A central point is the change of the government system,
that is, [the proposal for] parliamentary elections based on the
100% proportional representation system. There is no objection here,
just debates to consider the timeframes," he said, adding that the
process has yet to be finalized.
