Samvel Farmanyan: I do not think that self-dissolution of the parliament will have positive results

ArmInfo. The Armenian government  does not have sufficient grounds for creating a system of  transitional justice, Samvel Farmanyan, an MP from the Republican  faction, told a news conference on September 6.

The MP noted that it would be possible to express their position on  transitional justice only after the executive authorities had  submitted the necessary grounds for the introduction of this system.

As for the constitutional amendments announced by Pashinyan, which  envisage the self-dissolution of the parliament, Farmanyan said that,  in any developments of the situation, the government should  prioritize state interests. "I do not see any reason to take such a  decision," the MP said.

To note, on September 2, during his video address, Pashinyan said  that the government is developing a draft of constitutional reforms  on the self-dissolution of the parliament. According to him, the  parliamentary elections should be held no later than early June 2019.

In response, the Chairman of the Permanent Commission on Foreign  Relations of the National Assembly, RPA deputy chairman Armen  Ashotyan wrote that if Pashinyan wants to occupy the post of prime  minister for a long time, he should do his direct duties, that is,  the development of the state's economy.
