“The establishment of the Fourth Republic has no real connection with the Declaration of Independence, because regardless of whether it is preserved or not, it is a historical fact,” Minister of Justice Srbuhi Galyan told reporters during a briefing, referring to the removal of the reference to the Declaration of Independence from the new Constitution.
According to Galyan, it has not yet been discussed whether the reference to the Declaration of Independence will be maintained in the new Constitution or not. “I think one does not contradict the other,” she said.
