Yerevan July 20

Naira Badalyan. The head of the Armenian government plans in the future to review his own powers, enshrined in the new Constitution of the Republic of Armenia. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this on July 20, commenting on the journalist's question about "how convenient it is for him to dress as a super-prime minister."

According to Pashinyan, he did not abandon the idea at the legislative level to reduce the powers of the prime minister. Today, as well as when he was an oppositionist, Nikol Pashinyan believes that there should not be a super-premier institute in Armenia.

As the prime minister pointed out, it is necessary to do this in a way that does not violate the stability of the entire state system. In the future, according to Pashinyan, establishing new powers, Armenia should balance not between the president and the prime minister, but between the government and the parliament, as is done, say, in Germany.

When exactly there will be legislative changes that will lead to the eradication of the institution of super- premiership, established by the "legislative efforts" of the authors of the new Constitution, today the head of the Armenian government refrained from calling.
