5 YEARS OF PATIENCE
Support A1+!The Venice Commission is interested in the change of Constitution in RA. According to the Venice Commission secretary Gianni Buquicchio, it proceeds from the interests of Armenia, «We want Armenia to be like the other countries and to develop like them».
Even in case of this interest Mr. Buquicchio assures that if the constitutional referendum fails, the CoE and EU experts «will express their honest opinion». But he also noted that patience is not unlimited underlining that «the Venice Commission spent lost 5 and Armenia – 7 years» on the Constitutional reforms.
Today the European experts participated in a round table in the NA in which there was not a single representative of the Parliamentary opposition. «We sent invitations to everyone», informed the NA deputy president Tigran Torosyan. He also said in his speech that by the adopted draft «some dreams will be realized, others will not».
According to him, this draft not only amends the Constitution, but also gives the opportunity of Constitutional reforms. And as far as no other changes can be introduced into the draft adopted by the third hearing, the round table was organized, according to Tigran Torosyan, «to bring the draft to life».
