IF THE REQUIREMENTS ARE MET, “JUSTICE” WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION
Support A1+!Analyzing the revised draft constitution sent to the Venice Commission on July 7, the Justice bloc came to the conclusion that that some steps have been taken to take the offers of the opposition into account, but they cannot be evaluated as the full realization of the 3 principle approaches represented on January19, 2005.
Some conditions necessary for the participation of the bloc in the Constitutional reforms process are missing.
Proceeding from this, the “Justice” bloc a n n o u n c e s:
1. In case of the full realization of the principles put forward they are ready to participate in the Constitutional reforms process and represent offers to improve the draft.
2. The party reconfirmed all the previous demands and finds that their non-realization will deepen the distrust of the society for the process of Constitutional reforms, and will put at results of the referendum in doubt.
In particular:
a. In order to prevent possible forgery, before the Constitutional referendum to revise the Electoral Code, to punish those responsible for forgery during previous elections, and the revise the electoral roll.
b. In order to raise public awareness about the draft Constitution, to secure the presence of different opinions, especially by the Public TV Company and the return air to the TV Company “A1+”.
To take steps in the realization of the mentioned demands before the second reading of the draft.
3. The party is decisive to achieve system reforms in the country and legal authorities.
The announcement has been signed by the leader of the Justice bloc Stepan Demirchyan.
P.S. We also tried to learn the point of view of the National Unity. Member of the fraction Aghasi Arshakyan informed that they do not want to engage in empty talks and as soon as they have the final variant of the Constitution they will discuss it and give their opinion. And now they do not even intend to discuss something they have not even seen.
