/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The government of Armenia on March 11, 2010 rejected
a bill introducing amendments to the law on international treaties.

The bill was initiated by MPs from ARF parliamentary group. According
to the deputy minister of foreign affairs of Armenia Shavarsh
Kocharyan, the bill presents three approaches. First – invalidation
of the treaty before its entry into force. In this regard, the deputy
minister said that this issue has been resolved, and on February 25,
2010 the National Assembly introduced appropriate changes.

According to the second provision, the National Assembly will be
empowered to make its reservations in the treaty and before its entry
into force to suspend its conclusion. The third proposal identifies
those cases and the basis when one can apply to suspend or apply
the reservation.
