YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, ARMENPRESS. Speaker of Parliament Ara Babloyan says he imagines constitutional amendments only through political consensus and discussions.

“We still haven’t received a proposal for constitutional amendments. However, this can only be a result of discussions and consensus of political forces. Constitutional amendments cannot be a result of the desire of one or two politicians”, Babloyan told reporters today.

Speaking about possible early elections of parliament, he said he can’t mention specific dates. He said that a working group has been set up to deal with legislative changes.
