Analyzing the revised draft constitution sent to the Venice
Commission on July 7, the Justice bloc came to the conclusion that
that some steps have been taken to take the offers of the opposition
into account, but they cannot be evaluated as the full realization of
the 3 principle approaches represented on January19, 2005.
Some conditions necessary for the participation of the bloc in the
Constitutional reforms process are missing.
Proceeding from this, the “Justice” bloc a n n o u n c e s:
1. In case of the full realization of the principles put forward they
are ready to participate in the Constitutional reforms process and
represent offers to improve the draft.
2. The party reconfirmed all the previous demands and finds that
their non-realization will deepen the distrust of the society for the
process of Constitutional reforms, and will put at results of the
referendum in doubt.
In particular:
a. In order to prevent possible forgery, before the Constitutional
referendum to revise the Electoral Code, to punish those responsible
for forgery during previous elections, and the revise the electoral
roll.
b. In order to raise public awareness about the draft Constitution,
to secure the presence of different opinions, especially by the
Public TV Company and the return air to the TV Company “A1+”.
To take steps in the realization of the mentioned demands before the
second reading of the draft.
3. The party is decisive to achieve system reforms in the country and
legal authorities.
The announcement has been signed by the leader of the Justice bloc
Stepan Demirchyan.
P.S. We also tried to learn the point of view of the National Unity.
Member of the fraction Aghasi Arshakyan informed that they do not
want to engage in empty talks and as soon as they have the final
variant of the Constitution they will discuss it and give their
opinion. And now they do not even intend to discuss something they
have not even seen.
