Tigran Torosyan did not miss the opportunity to complain of the Venice
experts once more, «Of course, I can understand the reason of the
deep disappointment of the Commission, taking into account the 5-year
process of Constitutional amendments, but if there was an agreement
about clear-cut dates, I do not understand why the discussion of the
issue became so urgent».
Tigran Torosyan also informed that the Venice experts had been informed
beforehand that in our country all the radical changes are done during
the time period between the first and second readings. Besides,
Mr. Torosyan noted that they did not keep their promise: there
was an agreement that in the first reading the issues about which
there is an agreement in the political field would be adopted, and
before the second reading on June 1-2 the expert would arrive and
carry out discussions, and then the draft would be improved by the
second hearing.
In any case Tigran Torosyan assured the Armenian society foreseeing
what will happen to Armenia in case of the discussion of the issue in
the PACE session: they will discuss it, express their disappointment
and call the Venice Commission to work with the Armenian authorities;
and they will cal the Armenian authorities to remain loyal to the
European standards and adopt the draft constitution with a referendum.
