“Armenia achieved unprecedented success in Strasbourg”, Armenian
National Assembly Vice Speaker, head of the Armenian delegation to
PACE Tigran Torosian stated when commenting on the PACE summer session.
Contrary to previous press conferences, Tigran Torosyan and Shavarsh
Kocharyan representing Justice faction showed solidarity.
According to Shavarsh Kocharyan Armenia has an unprecedented
opportunity to get out of crisis. In his words, conduction of normal
parliamentary elections is questioned in Azerbaijan; in Georgia the
authorities of the President have been expanded and pressure on the
local self-government bodies is exerted.
In his turn Tigran Torosyan said that the RA authorities have no
discrepancies with the Venice Commission on the key issues. In his
words, the reforms are carried out not by request of the Europeans
but are essential for the development of the republic.
“It is a vital issue and it is harmonic with the European system of
values”, Shavarsh Kocharyan noted adding that the Constitution is
more important than the relationships between the authorities and the
opposition. Due to this reason the parliamentary opposition intends
to stop boycotting and take part in the parliamentary debates.
