COE WORRIED ABOUT THE RA CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS COURSE
COE EXPERTS WILL ARRIVE IN ARMENIA ON JUNE 1
«On June 1 the COE experts will arrive in Armenia. Before that the
RA authorities must represent them the draft constitutional amendments
confirmed by the NA readings. The COE bureau and the political groups
are worried about the course of constitutional amendments in RA»,
announced PACE Armenian delegation member Shavarsh Kocharyan after
returning from Strasbourg.
Mr. Kocharyan mentioned: that was the reason why the heads of the
political groups tries to include the course of constitutional
amendments in RA into the PACE spring session agenda. The issue was
not included because of only several votes.
Let us remind you that mainly the members of the Polish and Russian
delegations voted against. In the failure of including the issue in the
agenda a major role was played by Kolombia and Jaskernia, reporters
about the Armenian issue. «So the Armenian authorities appeared
in a worse situation. As they do not tend to realise improvements,
they are at the center of attention now».
Several COE officials have informed Shavarsh Kocharyan that in the
RA Constitutional amendments must give place to the 3 principles put
forward by the opposition which correspond to the Venice Committee
demands. «As far as the RA authorities do not have the wish to do
it, the Armenian issue will probably enter the PACE summer session
agenda and the RA will be fined. Offers have been made and drafts
have beer represented for the last few years but nothing has changed
in Armenia», mentioned Shavarsh Kocharyan.
According to him, in the COE there are 3 countries ~V Russia,
Azerbaijan and Armenia, which do not correspond to the COEropean
standards by their inner structure and approaches. «Strange as
it may seem, the communist Moldovan authorities are by far more
democratic abd liberal than the RA authorities. The Russian way is
unknown, but this country will somehow solve its problems. The state
of Azerbaijan is worse, but this cannot be a consolation. Comparing
us with Azerbaijan is a shame», said the NA delegate.
Shavarsh Kocharyan is going to give a press conference about the
Strasbourg prting session and RA Constitutional amendments.
