During his address to the nation on Constitution Day, July 5, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan emphasized that Armenia requires a new Basic Law.

Pashinyan explained that the Constitution serves as a collective agreement among citizens regarding the country's rules of life, rights, and duties. However, he highlighted, "Due to circumstances known to all of us, an Armenian citizen today does not believe that the constitution expresses his understanding and agreement on the rules of life - with him and his neighbor, his community, himself and other residents of his state. The citizen believes that the ruling elite created this text."

The Prime Minister stated, "I was and remain convinced this is a fundamental problem for our country. Our country needs a new constitution, and now I am not so much talking about a new text but a new method of creating and adopting it. We need a new constitution that the people consider what they have created, what they have accepted, what is written in it, and what their idea of the state they have created is, as well as the relations between people and citizens in that state. We need a constitution that is organically connected to the creator of the constitution - to the people."
