YEREVAN, June 21. /ARKA/. Political atmosphere improvement in Armenia
and democratic elections will pave the republic’s way to further
integration in Europe, Armenian National Assembly Speaker Tigran
Toroysan said during his meeting wit German Ambassador to Armenia
Heike Renate Peitch.

He is convinced the amended Electoral Code can produce insufficient
effect and thinks better political environment is needed to conduct
up-to-democratic-standards national elections.

Torosyan finds political parties’ hostile attitude toward each other
unacceptable. At the same time, he stressed the importance of rivalry
and competition among them.

He also said some 60 Armenian laws will be adjusted to the new
Constitution.
