The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) will throw its weight behind President Serzh Sarkisian's controversial constitutional reform only if it envisages Armenia's transformation into a parliamentary republic, a leader of the opposition party said on Tuesday.
Artsvik Minasian said Dashnaktsutyun has already submitted a list of 28 concrete proposals which it believes should be incorporated into a package of draft constitutional amendments that are expected to be put on a referendum next year. He singled out a switch from the existing presidential to the parliamentary system of governance.
"If our proposals are not accepted or if the system of governance doesn't change, if our basic approaches are … not incorporated into the final version [of constitutional amendments,] we will consider such changes meaningless, illogical and unsustainable," Minasian told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am).
