THIS IS A DIFFERENT OBJECT
In 2002 the RA Government got the right to make the list of the objects of
state importance near which social events are forbidden.
The RA President residence, the Central Bank, the National TV and Radio
companies, the Armenian nuclear power station, the gas underground stores,
their serving buildings and the upground sputnik `Orbit-2' are included in
the list.
`The including of the first four objects in the lists directly contradicts
the aim of organizing meetings, because the meetings are usually directed to
the executive bodies; besides they also contradict the 26th article of our
Constitution and the 11th article of the European convention', said Vardan
Pogosyan, head of he non-governmental organization `Democracy: Center of
Political and Law Investigations', during the round table in which the RA
Law about `Organizing meetings, marches and demonstrations' was discussed.
In other objects, according to him, there can be restrictions, but all of
them must be confirmed by law, as the 44th article of the Constitution
states that the restrictions can be confirmed only by law.
`The decision of the Government is no law, and if the legislative body
decides a list of restricted objects, they must be directly confirmed by the
RA Law about `Organizing meetings, marches and demonstrations', comments
Vardan Pogosyan.
