Armenian authorities said Friday that a text leaked to the media and presented as the new Constitution draft is not the final document.

“The Constitutional Reform Council continues its work, and both substantive and editorial changes are being made in the process of shaping the final version. Accordingly, there are numerous working documents, including draft versions and analytical reviews based on the current Constitution’s text,” the ministry of justice said, urging the public to rely only on official information and to wait for the official publication of the new Constitution draft.

The Ishkhanutyun media outlet published on Friday what it said was a leaked draft of the Constitution that the authorities plan to put to a referendum. Various clauses in the current Constitution were shown as removed.

“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
