Nagorno-Karabakh Republic to be renamed Artsakh
YEREVAN, November 7. /ARKA/. Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will be renamed Artsakh in a new Constitution, Ashot Gulyan, the speaker of the Nagorno-Karabakh National Assembly and the chairman of the president-affiliated professional committee on constitutional reforms, said Saturday in an interview with a local TV company.
He said this will be the Constitution of Artsakh, not Nagorno Karabakh.
"This means that subject is changed in the Constitution, and our wish, which had been voiced repeatedly, to return to our historical and genuine name, will be reflected already in the first article,” Gulyan said in his televised interview.
He said that the new Constitution will consist of at least 170 articles instead of the present 142.
In his words, the articles are mostly related to fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens.
Gulyan said that although the presidential rule will remain in the country, the legislative institution’s powers are planned to be widened.
The draft new constitution is expected to be unveiled the next week. It will be available on the parliament’s website. Public discussions will be wrapped up before November 20, and after that the document will be submitted to the president for approval. After completion of all necessary procedures the draft constitution will be put to a referendum. --0---
