Armenia-PACE

PACE WON’T DISCUSS AMENDMENTS TO RA CONSTITUTION

The issue of the amendments to RA Constitution was not included on the
agenda of the spring session at PACE. Tigran Torosian, deputy chairman of RA
National Assembly, said that the PACE bureau discussed the issue and decided
not to include that on the agenda.

“The common sense won. They understood that there is no necessity to touch
upon the amendments to RA Constitution. The issue is not that urgent,”
Tigran Torosian commented on the situation.

Recently, Shavarsh Kocharian, head of RA delegation to PACE, said in the
interview to the Liberty Radio that “As there are other urgent issues, one
can’t say that the issue of the amendments to RA Constitution will be
included in the agenda for sure.”
