No Longer Wants to Be Prime Minister, Seeks to Become President: 'Past'

'Past' newspaper reports: 'It seems that the topic of constitutional amendments, particularly transitioning to a presidential system, is becoming a subject of discussion. We have repeatedly informed that this issue remains on the agenda for the current authorities. Furthermore, according to reliable information from 'Past,' Nikol Pashinyan has decided to create a new commission to prepare constitutional amendments.

Moreover, our sources indicate that intensive negotiations are underway on forming the composition of this commission, under his directive, involving not only legal experts but also exclusively representatives from pro-government political forces and the public sector. According to our information, the 'plan' is to have a draft of the amendments in the shortest possible timeframe, including utilizing the working proposals of the previous commission, so that presidential elections can be held by the end of 2022. In essence, like in the fairy tale of the golden fish, Pashinyan no longer wants to be Prime Minister; he now wishes to become a singular President.'
