Politics

On June 1-2 the Venice Commission experts will arrive in Armenia to get acquainted with the course of the Constitutional reforms. Let us remind you that the coalition draft has been chosen as basis for the Constitutional reforms. And the coalition has not yet taken into account come of the principle problems put forward by the Venice commission.

Galoust Sahakyan, leader of the Republican party forming part of the coalition is convinced that the issue will be solved till the third hearing. He called the journalists not to represent the experts as people who are coming to Armenia to punish us.

According to another member of the coalition Levon Mkrtchyan, there will soon be a coalition session during which the unclear parts of the constitutional reforms will be discussed. According to Levon Mkrtchyan, the main issue is the demand that the Yerevan mayor be elected, which is not included in the coalition draft. “I am sure that tête-à-tête discussions which clear out everything. Sending each other notes is one thing, speaking to each other is another”, said Mr. Mkrtchyan, who is convinced that sometimes problems are brought about by the wrong translation.
