Armenian Constitution Comparable to European Standards



If the government says it, it must be true:
Armenian Constitution is up to European standards, Armenian National Assembly's press office quoted Speaker Tigran Torosyan as saying Monday. He pointed out that the amended Constitution allows Armenian citizens to appeal to Constitutional Court. "Constitutional Court has already received 200 appeals, while for the decade of its activity, the court considered only eight", speaker said.

"The amended Constitution also enabled the parliamentary opposition to appeal to Constitutional Court, and positive decisions on two cases are already made", he said
Torosyan pointed out that as a result of constitutional reformation, progress in justice and local governing systems are already visible, and political system will face changes after coming parliamentary elections.

He also stressed that amended Electoral Code laid favorable ground for holding elections properly.
I can't claim to be an expert on the Armenian constitution, but you can certainly read what seems like an un-updated version on its official site. Neat, huh?
