Pashinyan: Opposing New Constitution Means Resisting Final Peace with Azerbaijan

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan declared that the parliamentary opposition's rejection of a new national constitution will be construed as direct opposition to achieving final peace with Azerbaijan. Pashinyan made the remarks during preliminary deliberations on the 2027 state draft budget.

According to the prime minister, attempts by the opposition bloc to halt the adoption of a revised constitution directly undermine the realization of durable peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan: "In that scenario, public pressure against the opposition will inevitably mount, and if that reflects public sentiment, the ruling majority must lead that pressure." Pashinyan added that his upcoming efforts will focus squarely on resolving key questions surrounding the reform process.
