SESSION


YEREVAN, APRIL 25. ARMINFO. On April 25 the PACE Monitoring Committee
will draw a conclusion on inclusion of the issue of constitutional
reforms in Armenia in the agenda of PACE forthcoming session.

It were 24 European deputies headed by Russell Johnston was initiated
the inclusion of the issue in the PACE agenda. This initiative aroused
dissatisfaction of the head of the Armenian Delegation to PACE Tigran
Torosyan and Leader of the United Labor party Gurgen Arsenyan. The
remaining members of the Armenian delegation, including the
representative of the opposition bloc Justice Shavarsh Kocharyan, Head
of the Deputy Group "People's Deputy" Karen Karapetyan and
Representative of the Supreme Body of ARFD Armen Roustamyan, see
nothing blameworthy in the possible discussion of the constitutional
reforms in Armenia at a session of PACE. To note, the constitutional
reforms are among the country's commitments to the CE. The referendum
on constitutional reforms in Armenia is planed for late spring - early
summer 2005.
