Pashinyan announces need for constitutional referendum in Armenia

In an interview with the country’s Public Radio, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stressed the importance of adjusting relations with the Declaration of Independence. “Where is the point, the moment, when we should transform from a non-state people into a sovereign nation? That moment is the constitutional referendum. Our only tool is dialogue with the people,” he stated. This highlights the government’s approach to seek a direct mandate from its citizens to potentially redefine the nation’s foundational principles and governance structure.
