    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ During today's press conference UK Ambassador to
    Armenia Thorda Abbot-Watt welcomed the Venice Commission's positive
    assessment of the draft constitutional amendments. According to
    her, the new constitution of Armenia will become a recurrent step
    towards the integration into European structures. At the same time
    she noted that it is the Armenian population to decide what kind of
    Constitution to adopt and what kind of country to live in. In her
    words, the implementation of the Constitution is one of the most
    important aspects. "Armenia should itself follow the implementation
    process of the Organic Law of the country", the British diplomat
    noted. She also stressed the necessity of participation of all the
    political forces in the constitutional reform process. In his turn
    U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission Anthony Godfrey stated, "We support the
    democratic reform in Armenia and hope that the new Constitution will
    be adopted in November." According to him, the positive assessment
    by the Venice Commission is an advance, however the process is not
    completed yet. "We expect the Armenian population to take part in the
    constitutional debate, thus securing conduction of the referendum",
    he noted adding that the adoption of the reviewed Constitution cannot
    rule out falsifications. Mr. Godfrey expressed hope that after the
    parliamentary debates reasonable decisions will be taken.
