Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan presents the Government Program 2021-2026 in the National Assembly.

According to him, during the crisis in 2020, the parliamentary system of government showed its inefficiency, “We have to measure seven times and cut once before making a decision to change the system of government, because it can be found out that the peculiarities of the semi-presidential system of government have run the wheel that has led to a deadlock. I do not say this as an assertion or a conviction, but as a very important material for thoughts. “

According to Pashinyan, a number of questions related to the functioning of the mechanisms envisaged by the current Constitution have arisen, which need to be answered. He recalled the situation with the General Staff.

The government will start discussions with the public-political circles to decide on the expediency of adopting a new Constitution or constitutional amendments.

“Unlike the CP pre-election program, the topic of constitutional changes is not very specific in the government’s program. This is due to the fact that the issue of constitutional amendments is on the agenda of many political forces with different contents; this is a topic that must first pass the stage of public-political discussions. The government did not want to express a predetermined position on this issue,” Pashinyan said.

According to the Prime Minister, the political responsibility for the issue falls on the current government.
