YEREVAN, October 20. /ARKA/. The reformed Constitution creates new
possibilities for a solution to the issues about the Yerevan status,
the councilor of the Armenian president Seyran Avagyan reported Friday
at the seminar "European Experience in Local Governing".
"The reformed Constitution gives new possibilities and resources
for solving this issue, and I believe that this solution within
the frameworks of the updated Constitution can yield good results,"
Avagyan said.
He reported that adoption of the law "On Yerevan" has been postponed
until the formation of a new legal field exactly for this reason that
we give a direct solution to the problem, but not look for difficult
solutions.
According to the provision 108 of the updated Constitution, Yerevan
becomes a municipality. The peculiarities of local government
and formation of local governing bodies in the city of Yerevan are
established by the law. The law can institute direct or proxy voting
for a Yerevan mayor.
