    16-07-2005

    The draft constitutional amendments has already been sent to the
    Venice Commission for final resolution. The Council of Europe urges
    Armenia to submit to referendum the draft approved by the Venice
    Commission. July 9-12 we asked 100 citizens what do they think about
    the fact that the constitution reform is being carried out under the
    immediate supervision of the commission.

    54% of the respondents considers that Armenia should take into account
    all the proposals by the Venice Commission. "If we joined the CoE we
    should admit their rules", a young man said.

    A 68-year-old man rates the proposals as positives and thinks that
    with adopting them our country will become more democratic.

    22% of those surveyed think that the Venice Commission must not
    dictate how we should act. "How about our mentality, traditions
    and customs? Why should our leadership follow every word of the
    commission?" a man of 50 said.

    24% of the respondents found difficulty in answering

    To remind, the Venice Commission, in part, demanded elected post of
    the Mayor of Yerevan, division of power and complete independence of
    juridical bodies.
