The  Declaration of Independence in the context of amending the  Constitution has not  been discussed- Srbuhi Galyan

ArmInfo. Next week, the Council on Constitutional Reforms will  hold a meeting, and a new package of materials has already been sent to the members of the Council.  The Minister of Justice of Armenia Srbuhi Galyan informed journalists about this during a briefing on September 11.

She noted that another meeting will be held in September. "We need to  increase the intensity of the Council's work so that the text of the  new Constitution is ready by the deadlines we promised," the Minister  emphasized.

Responding to a question about whether a reference to the Declaration  of Independence will be included in the new Constitution, the head of  the Ministry of Justice noted that this issue has not yet been  discussed. In this regard, Galyan once again assured that if any  decisions are made, the public, specifically the media, will be  informed about them.

She refrained from sharing her personal stance on this issue, noting  that she would be ready to speak out only after discussions. "Each  expert has their own formed position, but I do not think that this is  the platform where this issue should be discussed now. If it becomes  a topic of discussions in different setting and with  other  specialists involved, then I will be prepared to speak on it,"  the  Minister concluded.
