Constitution of Armenia was adopted due to our consistent struggle
against Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s regime, Leader of the Union for
Self-Determination Paruyr Hayrikyan said at Hayatsk Debate Club,
Friday.
He said:’Ter-Petrosyan’s team got power and it did not care for
the constitution’. ‘Levon Ter-Petrosyan wrote the Constitution for
himself and it contained no method of forming the National Assembly’,
P. Hayrikyan said.
The Constitution must be above everything, he said. Although the
Constitution of Armenia is not perfect, it has become the support
of the public during emergency situations. P. Hayrikyan outlined the
omissions in the Constitution and the necessity of reckoning with the
opinion of electors. As regards the establishment of Public Council,
P. Hayrikyan said that structure will not be one of the three power
branches and will have no crucial role in implementation of power
mechanism as well as in the dialogue authorities-opposition.
