1995. “YES OR NOT TO THE CONSTITUTION”
Support A1+!“Yes or no”, a choice the RA citizen faced 10 years ago, no matter consciously or not. This choice gave birth to the Constitution which is called semi-presidential in the language of the Constitutional right, but is in fact and super-presidential in its essence.
It is called semi-presidential as the main mandate had two subjects of power – the President and the National Assembly. It is super-presidential as one of them has super authorities. This system of governing is called “De Goll regime” after Charles De Goll, General of the French army who later became President. It was under him that the present Constitution of France was adopted.
In its classic interpretation it was neither super-presidential, as USD, nor Parliamentary, as Great Britain. It was the synthesis of Monarchy with the Republic in French interpretation.
The Constitutional reforms which are worked upon by the authorities of the RA and the political power do not presuppose the change of the governing system adopted by the 1995 Constitution.
