ROBERT KOCHARYAN – MAJOR OBSTACLE ON PATH OF CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM

During the debates on constitutional reform in Armenia Head of the PACE
Liberal Democratic and Reformers’ Group Matyas Eorsi stated, `We should
remind Robert Kocharyan and others, who hold the power, that after adoption
of any law it should be applied within shortest terms. However with reading
the report on constitutional reform in Armenia one gets the impression that
the Constitution is called not to unite but to split the society. Robert
Kochrayan is the only person, who impedes the process of constitutional
reform by abusing his power.’

In Mr. Eorsi’s opinion, the constitutional amendments are not justified
because there is not independent juridical system in Armenia. `It was in the
times of Stalin. People should not return to the past’, Matyas Eorsi
resumed.
