"Our party has its position on the draft Constitution presented to
the consideration of the Parliament. We think that all peculiarities
of Artsakh’s statehood should be embraced in the Constitution. As
member of the State Constitutional Commission, I have made a number
of suggestions, many of which have already been adopted at the
Commission’s sitting," NKR Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Co-Chair
of the "Azat Hayrenik" Party Rudik Usnunts said in an interview with
"Demo" newspaper.
In his opinion the adoption of the Constitution will promote the
rise of the effectiveness of the activity of the three branches of
government. The Constitution will provide for the balance between the
activity of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of power,
which will in its turn, bring to the reinforcement of democracy in
the country.
"According to the draft Constitution, the Prime Minister is appointed
by the President after consulting with the National Assembly Speaker
and Heads of Parliamentary factions. We consider that the Prime
Minister should be approved by the Parliament, which will lead to he
rise of the Parliament’s role," Usnunts noted. The Deputy Speaker of
the National Assembly characterized the adoption of the Constitution
as an important step towards integration into the civilized world.
