Discussions on concept of constitutional reforms will start this January
ArmInfo. Discussions on the concept of constitutional reforms will start this January, Armenia's Minister of Justice Grigor Minasyan told reporters on January 8.
According to him, the draft Concept itself was submitted to the Armenian government at the end of December last year. It was the result of joint work between the Commission and the Council for Constitutional Amendments. Some of the initiatives belong to the Council, and others to the Commission. "As early as January of this year, we are beginning discussions on the Concept itself, and after its final approval, the process of public awareness of what the developed document is will begin," the minister said.
He noted that when developing the Concept of the Basic Law of the country, a complex model was chosen, in which representatives of political elites, parties and public organizations took an active part. "All issues were discussed openly and transparently through open voting. There is not a single issue that passed with an advantage of one or two votes. This means that the Concept will be the result of consensus with the public sector, which is very important, bearing in mind previous experience," he said.
