Prime Minister: Reforming judicial and legal system impossible  without adopting new Constitution

ArmInfo. The most important achievement of the current Armenian authorities over the past five years is the established peace with Azerbaijan. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this from the podium of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on April 16.

He noted that another achievement was the introduction of a mandatory  health insurance system and other related social developments  stemming from this system, ranging from consistent pension increases  to a cashback system. The prime minister also highlighted the program  for assistance with the birth of a third and subsequent child, and  the guardianship program for children under two years of age.

Nikol Pashinyan also noted the importance of reforming the public  administration system, which allows citizens, after passing  certification, to significantly increase their salaries. Reforms in  the armed forces are of strategic importance. No less urgent is the  introduction of a new remuneration system, based on the concept of  efficiency. This program, as the Prime Minister noted, is a pilot  project, and there is every reason to believe it will be legally  regulated this fall.

The Prime Minister believes that reforms in defense and education  have reached such a level that they have become irreversible. At the  same time, Nikol Pashinyan pointed to two areas with serious  problems: water management and the justice system, which have been  accumulating for years without being resolved. Overall, reforming the  judicial system will be impossible without the adoption of a new  Constitution, as the problems, under the current situation, continue  to simmer due to inertia.

To address these issues, a new Constitution is needed to remove  artificial obstacles and finally resolve the existing problems in the  judicial system.
