The main orators at today's conference held at Congress Hotel and
organized by the United Liberal National Party were the State and
Legal Affairs Committee Chair David Harutyunyan and RA Ombudsman Armen
Harutyunyan. In his speech David Harutyunyan mentioned that the new
Constitution misses the shortcomings that the 1995 Constitution had.
Specifically, the old Constitution centralized the government around
one person, that is the president, who was the Justice Council Chair
and could at any time wind up the parliament and it brought to crisis.
The new Constitution already gives solvations to such matters ,but
has not yet worked out a government branches balancing mechanism that
would escape a crisis.
Suppose if the president and the vice-president cannot come to a
consent concerning the government staff, the Constitution doesn't
provide certain steps or if they have different points of view
concerning some foreign policy matters, it is no how clear whose
will be the final decision. To the question if the parliament is
not limited in his doings due to that the president can at any time
wind up the parliament if he doesn't agree on any government project,
ex-Justice Minster said, "No, it is not. If there is majority in the
parliament then they can agree on a government project and the next
day express their unconfidence to the president".
