    ARMENIA MUST PROVE ITS ADHERENCE TO EUROPEAN VALUES THROUGH CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 1. ARMINFO. 'Europe does not force European
    integration upon Armenia. It was Armenia that has proclaimed itself
    a follower of western values. Thus, Armenia must prove its adherence
    to these values through Constitutional reforms,' said Head of the
    Parliamentary Commission for Defense, National Security and Internal
    Affairs, Vice Chairman of Orinats Yerkir party, Mher Shahgeldyan at
    today's seminar on constitutional reforms.

    He noted the recent interest of Europe in the South Caucasus,
    especially the inclusion of South Caucasian states in the
    EU-implemented program "Wider Europe: new Neighborhood." Despite its
    traditions and culture, the Armenian people has a European mentality,
    Shahgeldyan thinks. Constitutional reforms will be the first step
    to bring the political structure of the country in harmony with the
    people's mentality. Each political forces must bear responsibility
    for a possible failure of the draft constitutional reforms at
    the referendum, Shahgeldyan said. To overcome corruption, social
    polarization and other negative phenomena, it is necessary to display
    a political will and consistency, Shahgeldyan thinks.
