Draft of Armenia`s new Constitution under discussion, with Civil  Contract faction involved - MPs 

ArmInfo. The draft of Armenia's new Constitution is under discussion, including within the ruling Civil Contract faction. This was announced by the faction's secretary, Artur Hovhannisyan, at a briefing in the National Assembly  of the Republic of Armenia on March 27.

According to him, as of now, one meeting with the authors of the  country's Basic Law has been held, which was of a working nature.  After the publication of the text of the Constitution, discussions  will continue, but with the participation of broader sections of  society and in an open format. Everything being discussed today,  Hovhannisyan continued, is a working document.

In turn, ruling faction MP Lilit Minasyan noted that, based on the  ongoing public debate, it appears that the Civil Contract is the one  making decisions on the country's Basic Law. "Meanwhile, this is  merely the party's proposal to the public, both regarding the preface  and other points. Our goal is to engage in a direct conversation with  citizens, presenting our approaches and visions," Lilit Minasyan  noted.
