DISPUTES OVER CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
Support A1+!Today only 17 deputies were present in the sitting hall during the discussions of the constitutional amendments, which proceeded in the atmosphere of complete indifference.
Constitutional right specialist, chairman of Democracy public organization Vardan Poghosyan made a detailed analysis of all the three drafts pointing out to their advantages and shortcomings and called the deputies to adopt the draft submitted by the United Labor Party. In his turn independent deputy Manuk Gasparyan agreed with Vardan Poghosyan, since, in his opinion, the coalition's draft provides too much authority to the President.
Arshak Sadoyan was the only deputy representing the opposition in parliament today. He said that in case the coalition's draft is adopted as a basis, the opposition will have to vote against constitutional amendments.
The NA sitting will be continued tomorrow at about 12.00.
