“After the last meeting between President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, work on the new Constitution has been accelerated within the government.”
Globalinfo.az reports that this was written by the publication “Hraparak.”
“The Azerbaijani side is dissatisfied that this issue has stalled after the parliamentary elections. Pashinyan has decided to move forward on the new Constitution issue following this roadmap: first of all, they will try to convince the opposition part of society that this change is truly necessary for the country’s welfare and development. The issue of running an advertising campaign through opposition media is even being discussed.
At the second stage, they will appeal to the parliamentary opposition, calling on it to support holding a referendum. If the opposition refuses, they will try to convince individual opposition deputies of the importance of supporting the initiative of the ruling Civil Contract party. Pashinyan has not ruled out putting pressure on deputies, or even drawing them over to his side,” it was stated.
It was noted that if success is not achieved even after all this, as a final option it is planned to hold snap elections, obtain the constitutional majority in parliament necessary for amending the Constitution, and push through the adoption of the new Constitution:
“No specific timeframe has been set yet. However, Pashinyan has called on everyone to get things moving.”
It should be recalled that Ilham Aliyev and Nikol Pashinyan last met on October 9, 2026, in the city of Turkmenbashi, Turkmenistan. They had an informal conversation at an event held as part of the summit of the Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
