Civil Contract will go ahead with new Constitution agenda, says MP

A senior lawmaker representing the Civil Contract party has stated that the agenda for adopting a new Constitution will not be put on hold.

Civil Contract faction secretary, MP Artur Hovhannisyan, speaking at a press briefing in response to a question on whether agendas requiring a constitutional majority could be postponed or whether the ruling party would seek alternative legal pathways to implement them, said:

“Nothing will be put on hold. We will continue to move forward with our agendas,” Hovhannisyan said.

He noted that some difficulties have arisen, but the ruling party will continue working toward the implementation of its priorities.

He added that the agenda for adopting a new Constitution has been part of the Civil Contract party’s platform since 2019.

“We will not deviate from our agenda and will find legal solutions for it. I assure you that there are both legal and political solutions,” Hovhannisyan said.

He also noted that these solutions will become more visible after the formation of the new parliament.
