No point on new Constitution in Armenian government`s work program -  public figure 

ArmInfo.  The program of events of  the Armenian government for 2021-2026 did not provide for changes to the Constitution of Armenia, much less the adoption of a new one. This was stated by public figure, former Armenian Ambassador to Poland Edgar Ghazaryan in an interview with journalists on May 15 after a meeting with independent MP Gegham Nazaryan as part of a  citizens' reception in the RA Parliament. The purpose of the meeting  was to discuss the issue related to the initiation of the process of  expressing impeachment against the current Prime Minister of Armenia.  In addition, according to the public figure, the government program  does not contain a single mention of the intention to abandon the  Declaration of Independence of Armenia. "These provisions were not  even included in the election program of the ruling Civil Contract  party," Kazaryan added.

Touching on the initiative to impeach Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan  in this vein, the diplomat expressed his conviction that this process  could be an effective tool for depriving the Armenian prime minister  of power. He noted that the skirmish that occurred between deputies  at a parliamentary session, as well as the threats voiced by the  prime minister himself against his opponents, confirm the need to  implement such measures.

"The author of the tense situation that has arisen in the Armenian  parliament is Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. His presence at the  sessions of the National Assembly and the question-and-answer format  should ensure the government's accountability to parliament, but we  are seeing the opposite. The Prime Minister's behavior during the  sessions is unacceptable and is a violation of the Constitution of  Armenia," Kazaryan summed up.

The initiators of the civil movement "We are vigilant" Edgar Kazaryan  and Narek Malyan sent a letter with a request to start the  impeachment process against Pashinyan to the members of parliament.  To start this process, they need the signatures of 36 deputies, and  the opposition lacks two votes, which they want to get in the ruling  faction, which looks very doubtful. And for the initiative to be  successful, it is necessary to secure the votes of 54 legislators out  of 107.
