ArmInfo. The European voyage of Serzh Sargsyan and its main content is another argument in favor of "Yes" to the amendments to the Constitution. A similar opinion was  expressed by ArmInfo, the head of the Center for Globalization and  Regional Cooperation Stepan Grigoryan.

"The departure of the accused, ex-president, under investigation, to  Brussels by permission of the judge, once again emphasized the  seriousness of the problem of judicial institutions, the judiciary as  a whole.  That's why we must firmly say" Yes "to constitutional  amendments on April 5, in order to start breaking down the old  judicial system and building a new one. Courts must make decisions in  accordance with clear legal regulations, and not for unclear reasons,  "he stressed.

According to the political scientist, in Brussels, Sargsyan had  meetings with quite serious people, to whom he transmitted, to put it  mildly, inaccurate information about Armenia, describing the  authorities as populists and the constitutional system as trampled.  At the same time, the ex-president for some reason forgot to tell  European partners that the current Constitution was actually adopted  bypassing laws through falsifications.

According to Grigoryan's forecasts, the consequences of such a  Brussels activity of Sargsyan will be rather severe both for Armenia  and its authorities, as well as for its investment attractiveness.  According to him, Republicans today use their own, acquired over a  quarter of a century, ties against Armenia. Meanwhile, all this could  be prevented by giving a political assessment of the criminal and  essentially anti-people's activities of the RPA immediately after the  change of power in the country.

"This has not been done. And today nothing prevents our European  partners from having meetings, listening to the views of  representatives of a legally registered political party. Accordingly,  welcoming all the legislative changes announced and already being  implemented by the authorities, I once again urge the RPA and not  only the RPA to give a political assessment "Our foreign partners  should clearly know that they are dealing with counterfeiters,  criminals and people who are anti-people in nature," concluded  Grigoryan.

Under the recognizance not to leave, the ex-president, leader of the  Republican Party of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan received permission from  the court for his absence from Armenia in order to take part in  important meetings in Brussels. Sargsyan, former Minister of  Agriculture Sergo Karapetyan, his deputy Samvel Galstyan and Flash  owner Barsegh Beglaryan are accused of embezzlement of state funds  for the purchase of diesel fuel. As a result of the "victory" in the  tender, which made the Flash company less profitable, the state  suffered damage of 489 million drams .
