    ArmInfo. During today's debates at the Armenian Standing Parliamentary
    Commission for External Relations, the Armenian government did not
    approve the bill on introduction of amendments and alterations in
    the Armenian Law "On International Agreements" and introduction of
    amendments in the Law "On Regulations of Armenian National Assembly".

    The bill was submitted by the parliamentarians from ARF Dashnaktsutyun
    faction.

    Head of the Commission Armen Rustamyan said that the amendments to
    the Law "On International Agreements" aim to expand the powers of the
    Armenian National Assembly in the international arena. "We suggest
    giving the relevant powers to the Armenian parliament to enable the
    latter to introduce certain reservations in international agreements
    before their ratification by parliament",- said Rustamyan. He
    also said that these amendments do not contradict to the Armenian
    Constitution. However, Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh
    Kocharyan pointed out that according to the Armenian Constitution, the
    parliament has no right to introduce any reservations in international
    agreements. As a result of the debates, a decision was taken to apply
    to the Constitutional Court and find out whether these amendments
    meet the Basic Law of the republic.

    For his part, Vazgen Karakhanyan, Deputy Chairman of the Armenian
    Standing Parliamentary Commission for External Relations, member of
    the Republican Party of Armenia faction, said that this issue had been
    discussed by the ruling coalition. "As this is a nationwide issue,
    it requires nationwide debates",- he said.

    Both Armenian government and the Standing Parliamentary Commission
    for External Relations gave a negative conclusion for the bill on
    introduction of amendments and alterations in the Armenian Law "On
    International Agreements".
