On January 14, Armenian Justice Minister Srbuhi Galyan addressed various topics, including constitutional reforms, corruption, border delimitation, relations with the US, and comments on controversial statements by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

Galyan reiterated the necessity of drafting a new Constitution before upcoming elections, emphasizing that the current text does not adequately address social issues. Rejecting claims that foreign influences, including Baku's alleged demands, prompted the initiative, Galyan stated that constitutional reform has been under consideration since the Velvet Revolution but remains independent of external pressures. She clarified that decisions on the new Constitution, including references to the Declaration of Independence, will be made by a specialized commission and ultimately by the Armenian people.

On border delimitation with Azerbaijan, Galyan confirmed that the process is ongoing and essential for peace, though no finalized document exists yet. She avoided disclosing details, citing the sensitivity of the issue.

Galyan declared its absence in Armenia regarding systemic corruption, characterizing existing corruption as episodic. She highlighted the ruling party's commitment to anti-corruption measures and noted US support in these efforts, including discussions on legal assistance and the transfer of persons.

Commenting on the Prime Minister's controversial past remarks about the judiciary, Galyan argued that they reflected the realities of 2018-2019 when dissatisfaction with the justice system was at its peak. She denied any double standards or biased attitudes towards Pashinyan's statements and urged journalists to consider the broader context.

Finally, Galyan expressed optimism about signing a strategic cooperation document with the US, citing it as a step towards deepening bilateral relations and combating corruption.
