“Thanks to the draft Constitution the Presidential-Parliamentary
governing system of the country turns into Parliamentary-Presidential”,
the RA President representative Armen Haroutyunyan says. He considers
it a serious achievement.

Mr. Haroutyunyan claims that we cannot take the constitution of another
country and copy it like the other post-Soviet countries did. “It
does not work”, he said. According to Armen Haroutyunyan the draft
Constitution makes considerable progress in comparison to the present
one. At the same time he does not deny that it could have been better.

Asked the question what hindered its being better Mr. Haroutyunyan
did not answer clearly. He only said that his offers were rejected
not the by President of the country but by the coalition and by the
Parliamentary powers in general.
