    of Armenia meet European standards, CE Venice Commission Secretary
    Gianni Buquicchio told journalists, Friday.

    the independence of the judicial system could be "more perfect." He

    threaten Armenia in case if the referendum of the constitutional
    reforms fails. G. Buquicchio just said that Armenia undertook
    definite commitments when joining the Council of Europe.
