    WORKING GROUP SET UP TO DRAW UP KARABAKH CONSTITUTION

    Mediamax news agency
    3 Jun 04

    Yerevan, 3 June: The first sitting of the new composition of the
    constitutional commission of the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    was held in Stepanakert (Xankandi) today.

    According to a Mediamax correspondent in Stepanakert, NKR President
    Arkadiy Gukasyan told the sitting that "life dictates the urgent need
    to adopt the NKR constitution". According to Gukasyan, the adoption
    of the constitution will become another important step in establishing
    the NKR's statehood.

    Gukasyan said that the delay in the elaboration of the NKR constitution
    could be explained by a number of objective domestic and foreign
    policy reasons, including with regard to the settlement of the Nagornyy
    Karabakh conflict.

    "We cannot wait forever until Azerbaijan deigns to start a direct
    dialogue with Nagornyy Karabakh for a political settlement to the
    problem. The NKR should develop in line with the norms of a modern
    democratic society where the supremacy of the law is a must,"
    Gukasyan said.

    He said that there were all opportunities in the republic today to
    prepare and adopt the NKR constitution.

    At Gukasyan's proposal, the sitting made a decision to establish
    a working group to elaborate a draft NKR constitution. The NKR
    presidential adviser for state and legal issues, Armen Zalinyan,
    was appointed head of the group. He was instructed to submit a list
    of the working group members to the constitutional commission for
    consideration.
