Serj Tankian, a prominent Armenian -American rock musician, has addressed the upcoming Constitutional amendments in a Facebook post.
"In most cases a pure parliamentary system is preferred in more democratic leaning societies. But in other cases they can lead to more power consolidation by the ruling elite that already have significant majorities in Parliament and can be used as a lever to continue their single party rule. The thing to consider are intentions here. This was not a consideration brought forth by the populace of Armenia (who are rightfully overly cynical about the implementation of the rule of law, voter fraud and corruption) but by the ruling elite of the country," Tankian wrote.
