On the Constitution Day the National Self-Determination Union called
a presidency sitting to speak about the positive and negative sides
of the amended Constitution.

"By calling the presidency sitting on July 5, we once again
stress the importance of the day," said President of the National
Self-Determination Union Paruyr Hayrikyan.

"Constitution is a program-code of the greatest national organization,
the nation state. It is document the existence of which has been the
desire of centuries," the said.

According to Paruyr Hayrikyan, the referendums of 1915 and 2005 surely
shadowed the idea of Constitution. However, today we have what we have,
let’s try to note its positive and negative sides. Generally, speaking
the positive and negative sides of the document, Hayrikyan underlines,
"We have made three steps forward and a step backward. The greatest
achievement is the accessibility of the Constitutional Court. The
regress is that the Parliament that was elected once in four years
will be elected every five years."
