Today the National Assembly adopted the 18 new or radically changed
articles of the draft constitution. 92 deputies voted for and 1 voted
against it. The issue was put to voting despite the displeasure of the
deputies of the Justice oppositional bloc. By the way, the opposition
did not participate in the voting.

After the voting, as Shavarsh Kocharyan mentioned is his speech,
the coalition rejected all their offers, and in that case, “What else
can we speak about”. The deputy announced that he is tired of quoting
the demands of the Venice Commission and the EU.

According to Kocharyan, if the Constitution in question was offered
to any European country, they would be terrified.
