SDHP says “yes” to constitutional amendments (video)
The Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (the SDHP) will vote in favor of the constitutional amendments. “The upcoming constitutional amendments in the country will allow the creation of such a system, which, in case of presence of political will, will solve many issues. Today the position of the RA president is an institution elected by a direct vote and having absolute authority, which is not accountable to anyone for its actions. Or the majoritarian voting system. Even without it our parliament doesn’t stand out with its quality, legislative mind, but let’s think who have been elected until today by the majoritarian voting system? With one-two exceptions- the oligarchy,” Chair of the party Narek Galstyan announced today at the 10th conference of the SDHP. According to his words, though they will say “yes” to the constitutional amendments, the format of the participation will be known after the closed work of the conference, which will be held outside Yerevan. “At present many people announce that in this way the authorities want to be reproduced, that president Serzh Sargsyan wants to continue the government of the country. Of course, we are not prophets to guess the desires of any individual, but we have always asked ‘what hinders the reproduction with the current constitution?’ Isn’t it possible for Serzh Sargsyan to become a Prime Minister at the upcoming elections? Of course, it is possible, so that fact should not be subjected to any criticism,” he noted in his speech. Narek Galstyan states he must note, for the sake of honesty, that neither this, nor the former and even the constitutional reforms are not able to solve numerous social problems facing the country.
