ArmInfo.   According to the Prime Minister, yesterday the opposition, intentionally or not, gave the ruling majority the opportunity to conduct processes in a way that would generate significant public pressure on the opposition, which would subsequently make it possible to hold a referendum to adopt a new Constitution. "I understand I'm speaking in riddles, but I can't say more for now," he added.

Pashinyan also touched on the text of Armenia's Declaration of Independence, calling it anti-state and precluding the possibility of an independent state. The rejection of the Declaration, he said, is in no way connected with Azerbaijan or any other external partner, but stems from Armenia's national interests.
