Ara Papian: The issue of holding snap parliamentary elections should be decided by referendum (video)
Political analyst Ara Papian considers that constitutional amendments are necessary. "Without it, snap elections will be impossible." According to him, the issue of holding snap parliamentary elections should be decided by referendum. "In that case, the rumors that the square does not present the people will no longer be topical." Ara Papian also touches upon the so-called transitional justice. "It should not replace the judicial system, but it should complement it, people must trust the system." The political scientist says that the biography of Judge Azaryan, who made a decision to release Robert Kocharyan, does not give confidence, and also he believes that it is very soon for Robert Kocharyan to announce that he will run for the elections. "There is no cassation decision yet. If he is detained again, will he head the party from the jail? And people will gather around him, he is a fighter, and may become the center of anti-revolutionary change." Ara Papyan touches upon Shant Harutyunyan's imprisonment. "It should not be compared with Sasna Tsrer. In this case, there is a verdict, now he can be pardoned, but Shant does not want that, he wants to justify himself."
