Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that a referendum on a new constitution will take place after the 2026 parliamentary elections, claiming that a new constitution should create the ‘necessary aerodynamics’ for the state’s long-term stability and provide clarity about Armenia’s political direction for decades ahead.

Speaking at the first conference of representatives of Armenia’s state bodies in Yerevan, Pashinyan said the process of adopting a new constitution should take place after the parliamentary elections to ensure what he described as a more legitimate and broadly accepted reform. He said political forces would first be able to present their constitutional agendas to voters during the campaign, with the position of the winning majority shaping the final draft.
