    HAYOTS YERKIR INITIATIVE GROUP PROPOSES OWN VERSION OF NEW ARMENIAN
    CONSTITUTION


    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 22. ARMINFO. The Hayots Yerkir initiative group
    proposes its own original version of new Armenian constitution with a
    no less original mechanisms of its adoption.

    The member of the group Khachik Chilingaryan says that now that delay
    is similar to death one should immediately change the "completely
    rotten and compromised" current system of government. This requires an
    absolutely new constitution rather than some constitutional
    amendments. The group's constitution stipulates particularly that the
    president and the constitutional court chairman should be elected once
    in 7 years, the parliament should consist of 2 chambers the second one
    comprising representatives of Diaspora and the regions.

    The state budget should also consist of 2 parts: internal budget and
    Diaspora related budget. Any unpopular governmental action should be
    considered at a nationwide referendum without preliminary
    parliamentary discussion. The people should have the right to dismiss
    (through referendum) any top official.

    The group member Agasi Manukyan is sure that the government will
    reject such a democratic constitution. The text of the constitution
    will be placed on the group's web-site www.armenianworld.narod.ru.

    In a month the group will meet again to set up coordinating groups for
    explaining the constitution to the people. "As soon as people are
    aware of the constitution they will rise on such a mass scale that the
    government will not dare to oppose and will be forced to adopt the
    constitution," say the group members.
