/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The adoption of the new Constitution is one of the
commitments Armenia undertook at the entry to the CoE, head of the OSCE
Yerevan Office, Ambassador Vladimir Pryakhin stated during today’s
press conference dedicated to the constitution reform process. “The
current draft Constitution is closer to international standards”,
he said. He agreed with the Venice Commission on the necessity of
open debate of the constitutional amendments. As for the possible
obstacles posed by the opposition, Vladimir Pryakhin compared the
constitutional debates with a football match, where condemnation of
players and the referee is possible but own goals are absurd.
