When the representation of the United Labor Party draft constitution
started in the NA, there were only 14 delegates in the session hall
including the speaker Grigor Ghonjeyan. Within an hour the number of
the delegates added by 5-6.
It is obvious that the delegates are not interested in the
Constitutional amendments. "Factually the majority of the delegates
of the NA are simply voters and not delegates in the deep meaning of
the word", says head of the non-governmental organization Democracy
Vardan Pogosyan who had come to the NA to follow the course of the
discussions.
The expert of the Constitutional right fears that with the same
indifference the delegates will vote for the coalition draft. "That
draft does not correspond to the commitments represented to the RA. In
the most pivotal issue the coalition draft has not taken into account
the demands of the Venice Committee", mentioned Vardan Pogosyan.
According to him, the draft of the United Labor Party is closer to
the international demands. "Admitting the offers of the Committee
the United Labor Party has introduced such changes in the chapters
about Governing, Local Governing and judicial power which correspond
to the modern criteria".
