"Simply there has not been set an issue to once more submit the
constitutional provisions by law", Minister of Justice, David
Harutyunyan, said concerning the draft law "On the formation and
resignation of the Government", submitted in the parliament today. It
should be noted that the parliamentarians did not adopt the bill, which
has 3 articles, noting that nothing is mentioned in the draft about the
authorities of the National Assembly to form a government. According
to the minister, in view of the legislative technique it arouses some
problems and it seems that the law is imperfect. "It is a matter of
legal taste, and if the deputies consider necessary to include relevant
provisions in the text of the law, then it will be done. We don’t
see any problem here", the representative of the government assured.

In the words of the minister, however, if the Constitution gives
general description, then he is not sure that the legislator can more
detail it. "When the National Assembly considers that the government
does not duly fulfill its obligations, then it has all the instruments
to get rid of that government", the minister mentioned.
