CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS TO LEGALIZE OCHLOCRACY IN ARMENIA: HAMAYAK
HOVHANNISSYAN
YEREVAN, JULY 30. ARMINFO. “The adoption of the draft constitutional
reforms will legalize the oligarchs’ power in Armenia”, stated deputy
of Armenia’s parliament Hamayak Hovhannissyan at today’s
press-conference.
He named contradictory to common logic the grant of more wide powers
to Armenia’s prime minister than to a president. He stressed that
Armenia’s president is being elected by direct elections, while
according to the last version of constitutional amendments country’s
prime minister will be elected by parliamentary majority. “Oligarchy
is the parliamentary majority in our country and its role in the
legislative body will be only increased”, Hovhannissyan assured. He
tried to convince the presents on the example of Georgia, Ukraine,
Kirghizia and Russia that only presidential institution may curb
corporative interests. In his opinion, the adoption of the draft
constitutional amendments will lighten the reproduction task for
authorities. Hovhannissyan compared Armenia’s authorities with the
personage of Leonid Gayday, whose motto was an idea “who prevent us,
he will help us, too”. He meant the Armenian opposition that helped
authorities to steal constitutional process in the country.
