items and ratify 30 agreements.

At a briefing in Yerevan the speaker of the Armenian parliament,

package of constitutional changes in the third final reading. He spoke
for the conduct of the constitutional referendum in a free atmosphere
and stressed that “the time of falsifications has passed away”.

to boycott the work of the parliament, which started in February
2004. Today Bagdasaryan called on the Justice bloc to rejoin the
parliamentary sessions and take up full law making activities.

be solemnly marked in November, the speaker said.

of the chairman of the Armenian National Assembly [parliament]. A
