Tigran Torosyan yesterday met with CE Sec. Gen. Terry Davis, reports
the Press Service of the NA of Armenia. During the meeting Torosyan
remarked that after the constitutional referendum changes should be
introduced to over 60 laws to make them comply with the Constitution
of Armenia: changes are already made in 10 out of these. In his words,
during the summer active work will be carried out for the Electoral
Code to be adopted this autumn. The Speaker noted the importance of
forming of atmosphere of solidarity with political forces.
In his turn Mr. Davis congratulated Torosyan over election as
Parliament Chair and noted the importance of the Parliament's work
during the next year from the point of view of democratic development
of Armenia, especially the coming election in 2007.
The interlocutors also noted the issue of Azeri delegation's aggressive
policy at the PACE. As Torosyan noted, Azeri MPs use PACE as platform
to spread senseless and false information, as well as invented
accusations against Armenia. Specifically, in this case during
discussion of all issues Azeri delegation members raised the issue
of fires in the Nagorno Karabakh security zone. Torosyan presented
the true state of affairs to the CE Sec. Gen. The Armenian Speaker
underscored that while the NKR leadership addressed the Office of the
OSCE Chairman-in-Office, asking for monitoring to refute the alleged
accusations, Azeris organized a political show in Strasbourg. In
the situation it is not possible to make Armenian MPs refrain from
statements in response.
Torosyan underscored that spreading invented accusations runs
counter to CE principles and suggested taking measures to fix the
situation. Terry Davis agreed that the problem is serious and promised
to take respective steps.
