Minister of Justice Srbuhi Galyan has said that the ministry intends to develop a text of the new Constitution before the 2026 parliamentary elections.
“Our objective is to have the text of the new Constitution until the elections, and we must work in that direction,” Galyan said at a press conference when asked on the constitutional reforms process.
She said that the current Constitution doesn’t contain any obstacles for the peace process with Azerbaijan.
At the same time, she said that the plans to change the constitution have nothing to do with Azerbaijan’s demands to do so. Galyan said that the issue of potential change to the Constitution was raised after the 2018 revolution.
The working group will work on the new text.
“When we will have the final text, the people will either approve it or not. The current Constitution doesn’t contain any obstacles for the peace process, and the Constitutional Court also said this, and its decision and position are unambiguous,” the minister said. She attached importance to the involvement of the civil society in the process of developing the text.
