    THE RA NA APPROVES THE PROJECT OF CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS IN THE SECOND READING

    ARKA News Agency
    Sept 1 2005

    YEREVAN, September 1. /ARKA/. The RA NA approved in the second
    reading the project of constitutional reforms from the coalition
    by 98 votes "for" and one "abstained". As the Chairman of Standing
    Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs Mher
    Shahgeldyan stated, the authors of the project took into consideration
    the majority of the suggestions offered by the United Labor Party,
    "National Deputy" deputy group and some independent deputies. He also
    added that the editorial notes will be considered during the interval
    between the second and third readings. According to him, adoption of
    constitutional reforms will not solve the existing problems, however
    the package of constitutional reforms makes serious legal basis
    for it. He emphasized that the project is a "step forward compared
    with the acting Constitution and previous projects of constitutional
    reforms'. At that,Shahgeldyan reminded about the positive evaluation
    of the project by the USA and such international organizations as PACE,
    OSCE and EU.

    To note, on August 29 a special session of the RA NA on the project
    of the constitutional reforms (ARKA - project of ruling coalition)
    began in the second reading. The opposition parliamentary powers
    represented by the National Unity party and Justice bloc, boycotted
    the parliamentary sessions from Feb 2004, and participated in the
    discussions, however, in connection with neglect of their suggestions
    they refused to participate in voting. A.H.-0--
