Armenpress

YEREVAN, JUNE 28, ARMENPRESS: One of the most vehement critics of
Armenian authorities called today on the opposition and pro-government
forces to throw away their differences and join efforts for bringing
the country’s constitution in conformity with true democratic
standards.

Shavarsh Kocharian, a parliament member from the opposition Ardarutyun
(Justice) alliance said there is now a good opportunity to take
up the Council of Europe recommendations and revise a package of
constitutional reforms, developed by the ruling coalition and approved
by parliament in the first reading, which he said is more important
now than the opposition-authorities standoff.

Shavarsh Kocharian, who is also a member of Armenian delegation to
PACE, said revolutions are made to change constitutions and make
them democratic.

“If we have now this chance to carry out these reforms why should we
miss it? ,” he said.
