The draft constitutional amendments adopted in the second reading
by the NA would become a good basis if it were adopted in the
first reading, since many clauses need further elaboration
and coordination. However it is already impossible taking into
consideration the fact that the third reading is called for editorial
remarks only, constitutional right specialist Vardan Poghosyan
considers.

In his opinion, the draft contains a number of complicated and
dangerous clauses. “The ruling coalition is not ready to make
mutual concessions. It even did not adopt some items proposed by
the United Labor Party, which earlier announced of its support to
the draft. Moreover the draft was not adopted in the atmosphere of
political consensus. “In such an atmosphere the referendum is doomed
to failure”, Vardan Poghosyan said.
