110 deputies were present at the NA special session at 10 a.m. this
morning. 96 of them voted for the agenda. The opposition except the
deputies of the Republican party and Vazgen Manoukyan who is not in
Armenia participated in the session.
At the very beginning of the session before the confirming of the
agenda secretary of the Justice bloc Viktor Dallakyan announced that
the 11th article of the present Constitution and the 74th article
of the NA regulating law have been violated. According to the NA can
discuss either the new Constitution or Constitutional amendments.
The RA President's order about convening a NA special session says,
"RA Constitution (with amendments)", this excited Viktor Dallakyan's
apprehension, as this kind of a formulation can give Robert Kocharyan
the possibility to be elected a third time. Besides, the draft
constitution which was distributed to the deputies was not signed
by anyone.
The NA President Arthur Baghdasaryan mentioned in answer that
everything was clear. Viktor Dallakyan said, "It is clear for you,
but the formulation gives reason for different interpretations. Our
work must be clear enough so as not to leave room for different
interpretations". The Justice bloc asked for a break for 20
minutes. Meanwhile, according to Dallakyan, Arthur Baghdasaryan made
a call to the President's residence to clear up his future tasks.
After the break Arthur Baghdasaryan announced that the Draft
Constitution is subject to discussions. The main speaker is the deputy
President of the Orinats Yerkir party Mher Shahgeldyan. The discussion
is broadcast by the Armenian national TV Company.
