On April 7, Armenia’s parliament rejected the draft law submitted
by the ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group on making changes in
the RA Law on International Treaties and amending the RA National
Assembly’s regulations.

The legislative initiative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun foresaw the
following: the parliament shall have the right to reservations during
ratification of international treaties, the right to withdrawal from
an agreement, if it contradicts the country’s interests, as well
as the parliament shall have the right to initiate a suspension or
termination of an international agreement.
