Adoption of new Constitution to give full legitimacy to established  legal order in Armenia - premier 

ArmInfo.  The legal order established in Armenia derives from citizens, their decisions, and their consent. This was stated by RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan  on his Facebook page, presenting the latest provisions of the Civil  Contract party's election program.

According to him, this is precisely the focus of the seventh section  of the program, which concerns internal security and is directly  linked to legitimacy. Legitimacy is the most important and  fundamental factor in ensuring internal security. "The source of  internal legitimacy is the people and their will to have a state.   This will must be expressed in the indisputable legitimacy of  internal relations and institutions. It is impossible to ensure  rights and freedoms without restrictions. These restrictions are  expressed in the form of laws, decisions of the government and other  bodies, and judicial decisions," the Prime Minister emphasized.

Another source of legitimacy is the Constitution. Previously,  referendum results in Armenia have been widely questioned, resulting  in a lack of fairness and trust. The way to overcome this situation  is to adopt a new Constitution through the expression of the will of  the people, which will give full legitimacy to the established legal  order in the country. The new Constitution must introduce the  institution of jury trials as a manifestation of the people's  connection with the justice system.

Pashinyan assured that if he wins the elections, reforms in the  judicial system and the development of democratic institutions will  continue.

As a reminder, parliamentary elections in the country will be held on  June 7. According to the schedule, the nomination of political forces  began on April 13. Registration closes on May 3, the election  campaign starts on May 8 and ends two days before the election, on  June 5.
