    RA Parliament passed a bill "On amendments and alterations to the
    Law on International Treaties" by 80 votes, with 5 against and 2
    abstained in the first reading.

    Heritage Party voted to down the bill, whereas ARF Dashnaktsutyun
    voted for adoption though criticized it before.

    At Edward Nalbandian's suggestion, it was decided to discuss the
    document in the second reading within 24 hours. ARFD proposed to
    amend a provision on making reservations to international treaties. In
    addition, the party suggested capacitating both executive power and
    Parliament to terminate and suspend international agreements.

    Chairman of the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations Armen Rustamyan
    stated that presently Armenia is engaged in a critical process,
    referring to Armenia-Turkey reconciliation. According to him, it has
    never been involved in something similar since gaining independence.

    Rustamyan considers that passing of the law is a crucial step aimed at
    protection of national interests in Armenia-Turkey rapprochement. He
    also noted that all this is insufficient and it is necessary to
    supplement and improve the document.

    The bill stipulates introduction of the institution dealing with
    termination and suspension of signed or ratified international
    agreements in Armenia until the process is complete.
