Political scientist: On the example of Armenia, we see that the  transformation of the republic from presidential to parliamentary is  fraught with destabilization

ArmInfo.On the example of Armenia, we see that the transformation of the republic from presidential to parliamentary is fraught with destabilization and  major political problems. Political analyst Gleb Kuznetsov said about  this to RIA Novosti, commenting on the message Bloomberg about the  allegedly planned parliamentary reform in Russia.

"No one in his right mind and sober memory will consider this  scenario, looking at what happened in Armenia," Kuznetsov said.  According to him, parliamentary reform can be fraught with  destabilization and political problems, as already shown by the  experience of other countries.

It should be noted that, yesterday  Bloomberg, citing two sources  familiar with the situation, said that the Kremlin is considering the  possibility of carrying out parliamentary reform in order for  President Vladimir Putin to remain in power after the end of his term  in 2024. 

As explained by the agency, Putin's assistants and advisers are  considering ways for the president to remain in power, for which he  may need to maintain control over the State Duma.

The constitutional referendum held in Armenia on December 6, 2015, as  a result of which Armenia became a parliamentary republic, in the  opinion of the majority of the country's citizens, was aimed at  reproducing the power of the third president of Armenia, Serzh  Sargsyan. His election as prime minister after the expiration of the  presidential term led to mass protests, and, ultimately, ended with a  "velvet revolution."
