Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said the text of the country’s new Constitution will be published soon, followed by public discussions involving citizens and parliament.

Pashinyan made the statement in response to a question from MP Garnik Davtyan during a question-and-answer session with the government in the National Assembly, The Caspian Post reports, citing Armenian media.

The prime minister recalled that the adoption of a new Constitution had been included in his party’s election manifesto and was also part of the government’s programme.

“The text of the new Constitution will be published soon, and we will begin discussions with the people of the Republic of Armenia, including parliament. Of course, there will first be a public discussion over the coming months, after which the remaining stages will proceed in accordance with the established procedure,” Pashinyan said.
