The draft law "On Amending the Legal Regime of the State of Emergency"
was submitted on Wednesday February 8, by the Justice Minister for
debate in the first reading of the Parliament. Taking the floor,
ARF-D Member of Parliament Lilit Galstyan said that while this is
a very important draft law still there are some flaws that needed
to be clarified. Galstyan referred to the lack of clear definition
as to the circumstances that will activate the law and the role of
the Parliament as far as the declaration of the emergency state is
concerned. The ARF-D MP commented on the latter said that this draft
law limits the role of the Parliament only to an advisory level and
it doesn't specify the extraordinary sitting's agenda, jurisdiction
and authorization. Galstyan concluded by saying that the draft law
lacks also a mechanism of mutual control that is a typical attribute
of democratic states
