    PARLIAMENT PREPARES FOR THE UPCOMING MEETING

    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    04 Feb 05

    The National Assembly resumed its work after the winter holidays. The
    head of the NA state and legal committee Youri Hayrapetian said the
    new session is heavily loaded. The committee is presently working on
    about 10 bills part of which will be discussed at the upcoming
    meeting. Among these is the NKR bill `On Human Rights Defender'
    (undertaken by the head of the NA committee for foreign relations,
    interparliamentary links and information V. Atanessian) which was
    adopted at the first reading. According to Y. Hayrapetian, the
    suggestions made by the committee are presently discussed by the
    author of the bill. The state and legal committee is working on the
    amendments to the bill `On Administrative Division of NKR' presented
    by the government, which concern the status of certain settlements. By
    the bill `On Civil Service' the Executive suggests introducing a new
    order of appealing the results of the competition before going to the
    court. There is also a suggestion to clarify the order of work of the
    competition and qualification commissions. In the current year the
    National Assembly prepares for the adoption of the country's most
    important document - the Constitution. Therefore there occurred the
    necessity for amendments to the law `On the Order of Adoption of the
    Constitution'. According to the bill presented by the government, the
    Constitution must be adopted through a referendum undertaken by the
    president or the National Assembly. It is alsonecessary to make
    changes in the NA regulations which will maintain the mechanism of
    discussion of the draft constitution in the parliament meeting. The
    state and legal committee gave a positive conclusion for the bills `On
    Amendments to the NKR NA Regulations' and `On Amendments to the Law on
    the National Assembly' but both the committee and Vahram Atanessian
    (the author) preferred to present them at the end of the
    session. `These bills may cause structural changes in the parliament
    (change of names of committees, creation of new committees, etc.) so
    it is convenient that they should work under the National Assembly of
    the fourth convocation,' said Y. Hayrapetian. The amendments provided
    for by the bills start from the necessity of clarifying the rights and
    responsibilities of the NA standing committees and improving the
    effectiveness of the legislative activity of the National Assembly.
