“Yes, there should be no reference to the Declaration of Independence in the new Constitution” – Pashinyan

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated during a briefing with journalists that the new Constitution should not include any reference to the Declaration of Independence, while adding that he sees no need to alter the text of the Declaration itself.

“The Declaration of Independence is built on the logic of conflict. We cannot continue with a logic of conflict if we want to build an independent state,” he said, noting that he had already expressed his position in detail in his message on the day of the Declaration of Independence.
