And here, with the amendments of 2015, the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia established new legal regulations regarding the Government due to the transition to the parliamentary system of governance in the Republic of Armenia. The adoption of the project by the National Assembly means that the new regulations will come into force on April 9. That is, the day when RA presidentSerzh Sargsyan will give up his powers as the president of the republic and assume the position of the prime minister. And there is no doubt about it.
