    "Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan lost the confidence of a greater
    part of the Armenian Diaspora due to failure of Armenia-Turkey
    rapprochement. He is making an attempt to make good terms
    with representatives of the Armenian Diaspora by adopting a
    bicameral parliamentary system. He is even ready to allow diaspora
    representatives to participate in the state governance of Armenia,"
    Chairman of New Times Party Aram Karapetyan told reporters on Friday.

    "This is in fact a populist step. I strongly oppose this populism,
    if domestic issues are on the agenda," Karapetyan said.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, during a recent meeting
    with representatives of the Armenian community in California, Armenian
    Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan spoke of Armenian President Serzh
    Sargsyan's intention to make amendments to the Constitution and turn
    the country's national assembly into a bicameral parliament. It will
    grant Diaspora representatives an opportunity to become members of
    the Upper Chamber and participate in state governance in Armenia.
