VERY IMPORTANT TO BRING ESSENCE OF CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS TO EVERY
CITIZEN, TIGRAN TOROSIAN THINKS

YEREVAN, AUGUST 19, NOYAN TAPAN. The August 19 seminar organized on
the initiative of the “Partnership for Open Society” was dedicated to
discussion of the process of the constitutional reforms. According
to Tigran Torosian, the Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly of
Armenia, though there are only 10 days left before the discussion of
the draft constitutional reforms at the RA NA, the draft still needs
to be completed. So, there are still definite problems connected
with the human rights, independence of the judicial system as well
as activities of the local self-governance bodies in the draft. “If
we can not make amendments in the Costitution during 2-3 years, we’ll
need a very long period of time to overcome problems existing in the
country,” T.Torosian stated. He expressed a confidence that many people
in Armenia realize the importance of the constitutional reforms. If we
can explain, people will understand and vote for the draft of reforms,
and if we cannot, the year of 2003 will repeat when people voted
against the constitutional reforms,” the NA Deputy Chairman mentioned.
