Armenia seeks to develop new Constitution before the 2026 parliamentary elections which as many believe is linked to one of Azerbaijan’s requirements for a lasting peace agreement between the two countries.
On Tuesday, Armenian Minister of Justice Srbuhi Galyan has called for the development of a new constitution, with involvement of the civil society.
"As I have repeatedly stated, our goal is to have the text of a new constitution ready before the elections. Our efforts should be directed towards this goal," Armenpress reported referring to the minister speaking at the press conference.
The Council on Constitutional Reforms was formed in 2022 with the aim of proposing amendments to Armenia’s current constitution. An executive order signed by Pashinyan and publicized on May 24 changed the council’s mandate, saying that it must draft a “new constitution” from scratch.
She noted that legislative changes were not related to Azerbaijan’s demands as “the Constitution doesn’t contain any obstacles for the peace process” referring to necessity of changes raised after the 2018 revolution.
At the same time, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that Armenia needed a new constitution reflecting the “new geopolitical environment” in the region.
Recently speaking about obstacles to peace deal, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev said: “The Armenian Constitution contains a reference to the Declaration of Independence, which, in turn, includes territorial claims against Azerbaijan and declares the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region as part of Armenia. Therefore, changing the Constitution is not a whim of ours but an objective necessity.”
