/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President Robert Kocharian has held a
conference with members of the Coordination Commission on measures to
meet Armenia’s commitments to the Council of Europe when being accepted
to the organization. The process of meeting the obligations referring
to election, parties, local self-government, human rights, media and
others was discussed in the course of the meeting. The Commission
members informed that the drafts of the laws, reformed on the basis
of the Venetian Commission proposals are already submitted to the
Venetian Commission. The interlocutors also discussed constitutional
reforms. Robert Kocharian noted the importance of not delaying reforms
of the Constitution of Armenia and the importance of working out the
final bill, based on the most degree of consensus. As the Coordination
Commission members noted, if the draft of constitutional reforms is
again positively evaluated by the Venetian Commission and is put for
a referendum, in 2005 Armenia will meet all commitments assumed at
accession to the CE.
