President Serzh Sarkisian held through his aides on Monday fresh talks with major Armenian political parties on a package of controversial constitutional amendments which he plans to put on a referendum later this year.
Two members of a presidential commission that has drafted those amendments met separately with the parliamentary leaders of the opposition Zharangutyun and Dashnaktsutyun party. They are scheduled to meet with other parliamentary factions on Tuesday.
The talks follow a series of consultations which Sarkisian personally held last week with the leaders of a dozen parties that now seem ready, in principle, to back his constitutional package envisaging Armenia's transformation into a parliamentary republic. Still, some of those parties, which claim to be in opposition to the government, object to several amendments to the Armenian constitution proposed by the commission.
