Kristine Vardanyan, a lawmaker from the Hayastan faction of Armenia’s parliament, commented on Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s statements on the adoption of a new Constitution.
Globalinfo.az reports that she wrote about this on her social media account.
“On the one hand, Pashinyan says that the opposition has no influence or role whatsoever, while on the other, he is trying to use citizens as a means of pressure because the opposition does not agree to the adoption of a new Constitution,” Vardanyan said.
According to the lawmaker, the authorities want to mobilise citizens against the opposition, keep it under pressure and force it to agree:
“Pashinyan himself is surprised by the existence of an opposition that, despite all the pressure, does not agree with him.”
It should be recalled that Pashinyan spoke about the new Constitution today. He said that if the parliamentary opposition obstructs the process by opposing the adoption of the new Constitution, this would mean that it is against final and comprehensive peace with Azerbaijan. The prime minister said that public pressure on the opposition would be formed in such a situation and that the ruling majority should lead this process.
