The paper has talked to the Public Chamber's president for comments
on the National Asssembly's negative vote on an earlier proposed bill
regulating the institution's functioning.
Vazgen Manukyan said that the parliament argued the lack of necessary
constitutional provisions addressing the Public Chamber. "It turned
out, during the debate over the bill, that it isn't possible to adopt
such a law, as the Constitution makes no reference to the Public
Chamber," he said.
Asked whether the package on constitutional reforms doesn't address
the issue, Manukyan replied, "Serzh Sargsyan and President of the
Constitutional Court Gagik Harutyunyan have proposed including that
issue too, in the package. Once the final text on the constitutional
amendments is available, it will be clear whether or not the proposal
is there."
The paper notes that the draft law submitted to the parliament
envisaged extending the Chamber's authorities to allow its
representation at National Assembly's plenary sessions and in the
Government.
