President Serzh Sarkisian will likely drop one of his most controversial draft constitutional changes regulating the conduct of parliamentary elections, the opposition Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) said on Tuesday.
BHK leaders claimed to have received such assurances from two members of a presidential commission that put forward amendments envisaging Armenia's switch to a parliamentary system of government.
The commission members, Hrayr Tovmasian and Vartan Poghosian, began fresh consultations with virtually all parties represented in the Armenian parliament on Monday just days after their leaders held talks on the matter with Sarkisian. The talks followed the publication of what was supposed to be the final version of Sarkisian's constitutional package. They highlighted the president's apparent readiness to make further changes in the draft in order to muster broad-based political support for the constitutional reform.
