President Serzh Sarkisian appears to have made a final decision to try to transform Armenian into a parliamentary republic with a largely ceremonial head of state not elected by popular vote, an opposition politician said on Thursday.
Armen Rustamian, a leader of the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun), also revealed that he and top representatives of about a dozen other parties held fresh discussions on the issue with Sarkisian on Tuesday.
The presidential press office issued no statements on the meeting. It featured politicians that are loyal to Sarkisian or at least do not reject out of hand his plans to amend Armenia's constitution. According to Rustamian and other participants, the meeting was also attended by members of a presidential commission tasked with drafting constitutional amendments.
