YEREVAN, JUNE 27, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA National Assembly at the June
27 special session in the first reading discussed the bill authored
by the government, according to which amendments and addenda are
envisaged in the law "On RA International Agreements."
According to the current bill, the interstate international agreements
signed are to be ratified. The government also proposes determining
a simplified procedure for the ratification of interstate agreements
about providing grants, humanitarian aid, donation to the RA or
envisaging technical-economic, financial or other cooperation provided
that use of the above mentioned agreements does not contradict the
RA legislation and does not envisage changing the law or adoption of
a new law, as well as that the above mentioned agreements do not lay
financial or any other property commitment on Armenia. In the above
mentioned cases the agreements are to be approved by the RA President
and will not be submitted for the NA's ratification.
Representatives of the Zharangutiun (Heritage), the Orinats Yerkir
(Country of Law) factions and independent MP Viktor Dallakian spoke
against the bill.
In their opinion, the bill contradicts the RA Constitution, as
the balance of power wings is violated. They think that the bill
also contradicts the expansion of the NA's powers envisaged by the
constitutional reform. The voting of the bill will take place later.
