    YEREVAN, AUGUST 3, ARMENPRESS: The Council of Europe special
    representative Boyana Urumova told today at a press conference
    that "The adoption of new Constitution will open a way to
    Euro-integration." She said the success will witness about the maturity
    of the Armenian political field. Noting that the opposition must
    be able to display readiness for making concessions she added that
    the Venice Commission underscored the discussion of constitutional
    amendments with civilians and opposition for securing mutual agreement.

    On behalf of the Council of Europe B. Urumova thanked the Armenian
    authorities as well as all the experts for securing success in
    the process and pointed out the support provided by international
    organizations and embassies. Thorda Abbot Watt, Great Britain and
    Northern Ireland's ambassador to Armenia, welcomed the positive
    assessment of the Venice Commission concerning the amendments and
    said that "This is a step which will help Armenia in establishing
    democratic values and will open the way to Europe," said she.

    According to her, Armenian people must chose what Constitution they
    would like to have and in what country they want to live.

    The OSCE Yerevan Office Director Vladimir Pryakhin said the process
    of constitutional amendments is essential from the point of view of
    securing development of democracy. He said the suggestions of the
    Venice Commission which are included in the package of amendments
    has made the document relevant to international standards.
