The parliamentary opposition states that no single independent commission
functions presently for the sake of the nation.
Name one commission the decision of which improved the living conditions of
the people», National Unity factor secretary Alexan Karapetyan said.
In his turn Justice faction secretary Victor Dallakyan characterized the
situation that was created within the so-called independent commissions with
a well known phrase «Òhe one, who pays, establishes the rules». In the
opinion of the oppositionists, the draft constitutional amendments do not
guarantee independence of the commissions. «How can a commission appointed
by the President be independent?» Victor Dallakyan says. Alexan Karapetyan
fully shares this opinion. «Unfortunately, any commission formed at the
incumbent authorities will be dependent regardless of the amendments
adopted», he notes.
Oppositionists have some remarks on the formation of the independent
commissions. Fisrt of all, they say, the law should rule. «We lack the habit
of obeying to the law. Today we face the problem of formation of traditions
and civic institutes», Justice faction representative says.
There is no doubt that the correct formation order is the most important
factor for the independence of the commission. Victor Dallakyan offers to
use the experience of other states. «While forming the NCTR 3 nominations
are proposed by the NA, 3 - by the President and 3 - by public
organizations. For example, in France 6 candidatures are appointed by the
National Assembly and 3 - by the President,» he says.
Alexan Karapetyan has a different proposal, though, in his words, it is not
finite. «The commission members can be elected like deputies. Or the
composition of the commission can be appointed by the NA.
The real independence of the commission depends on one more important
factor: what state body should they be subordinated to? «These commissions
should be subordinated to the parliament. Annually each commission should
submit its report to the NA. If the parliament does not approve the report,
the commission members should resign', Justice faction members consider.
Representatives of National Unity insist the report be presented to the
people as well.
