Armenian Speaker Artur Bagdasaryan and the head of the Ago group [the

Roland Wegener, discussed today the process of the constitutional
reforms in Armenia.

The two men noted that answers to the difficult questions had been
found following lengthy discussions. Wegener spoke about the importance
of the Armenian opposition’s involvement in further discussions and
of their return to legislative activity in parliament.

Speaking about the constitutional reforms, Bagdasaryan said that
Armenia understood the importance of bringing its legislation in

direction. One of these steps was the adoption of amendments to the
Electoral Code.
