NKR President Arkady Ghukasyan conducted the recurrent sitting o the
NKR Constitutional Commission, during which the first two chapters
of the draft constitution of NKR were discussed.
After the address of the head of the working group Armenia Zalinyan,
who is member of the Constitutional Commission, a debate among
the representatives of the political forces of NKR, including the
leaders and high officials of the government and the opposition in
the commission followed. The press secretary of the NKR president
informed us about this.
The president emphasized the importance of compliance of the
constitution to the adopted with the international standards. Arkady
Ghukasyan said the final draft of the constitution will be presented
not only to the political forces and public in NKR but also the
authoritative experts of Armenia and the world.
The president instructed the working group to prepare the schedule
of further activity of the Constitutional Commission.
By the way, the constitution has been worked out for the past several
years. This fact has even given rise to doubts. Some people say the
Constitution will be adopted on the eve of presidential election.
Analysts have noticed that President Ghukasyan gave the instruction
of working out the schedule of adoption of the constitution after his
“argument” with President Kocharyan. He might have felt the necessity
to strengthen his position.
