Number of MPs may be reduced under constitutional amendments

Hraparak: Number of MPs may be reduced under constitutional amendments

10:05 14/03/2015 >> DAILY PRESS

The package of constitutional amendments has interesting nuances.
Besides the fact that it is proposed to shift to rating voting in the
majority system, the number of MPs will also be reduced, Hraparak
reports.

“At the current stage of discussions, there is a plan to reduce the
number of MPs to 121, but this plan may be changed as a result of the
discussions and the number of parliamentarians may be left unchanged.

“Everything depends on the outcome of discussions, on the “conduct” of
parties and, most importantly, on the behind-the-scene decision of the
authorities on what parties will have seats in the parliament and how
many representatives they will have,” the newspaper says.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
