/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian Parliament Speaker Artur Baghdasarian received
rapporteurs of the PACE Monitoring Committee Jerzy Jaskiernia and Georges
Colombier, reported the Press Service of the National Assembly of Armenia.
In the course of the meeting the parties discussed matters referring to
Armenia's meeting its commitments to the PACE. Artur Baghdasarian informed
the interlocutors that the Armenian Parliament had adopted the bill on
constitutional reforms, which includes numerous proposals of the Venetian
Commission. At the same time he noted that everything possible is being done
for the bill to comply with the requirements within the period of the second
and third reading. He also added that before being submitted for the second
reading the bill will again be considered by EU experts in Yerevan. Within
the context of the terms of holding the referendum, the Speaker noted the
expedience of holding a referendum in the beginning of autumn this year. In
his words, it will allow familiarization with the bill being proposed for
referendum within July-August. The parties also noted the importance of
passing the Electoral Code of Armenia, which also takes into account all
proposals of the Venetian Commission. As noted by A. Baghdasarian, the
passing of the Law on the order of holding rallies, meetings, processions
and demonstrations is already on the agenda. In the course of the meeting
the parties also discussed issues of intensification of democratic reforms
in Armenia. When commenting on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, A.
Baghdasarian noted that Armenia has a constructive posture over the issue,
accepts the need for mutual compromise and is ready to continue the peace
talks.
