AGREEMENT BETWEEN VENICE COMMISSION AND RA AUTHORITIES

Addressing the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, on the
occasion of the 15th anniversary of the European Commission for Democracy
through Law, better known as the Venice Commission, the Commission’s
President Antonio La Pergola declared:

“In the new democracies basic questions of constitutional law remain crucial
for the democratic stabilisation of these countries”.

Most recently, the Commission reached an agreement with the Armenian
authorities on constitutional reform that should contribute to the country’s
democratisation and might pave the way for the return of the opposition to
parliament.
