HAVE THE DISCUSSIONS BEEN STOPPED?

The representatives of the commission of Venice haven't discussed in detail the project of Constitutional amendments yesterday. The main problem of their visit was the meeting with the leadership of the country to specify the positions. The PACE delegate Shavarsh Kocharian informed to "Aravot" that the Commission of Venice considered another discussion, which will not lead to any result in vain after receiving the project of the coalition by first reading. It isn't known how the problem has been solved by meeting Robert Kocharian. His press service informed about this meeting the following: "Robert Kocharian has adopted the CoE delegation of the Commission of Venice. The process of Constitutional reforms has been discussed."

THE INTEGRATION DOESN'T
THREATEN US

Following the Frenchmen the Datchmen said "no" to the European Constitution casting doubt on the process of EU enlargement. And this means that the dream of Armenia and post Soviet countries to integrate in the European family is postponed. It seemed that Georgia and Ukraine were close the achievement of that dream. But both before referendum and especially after it there were doubts and there are that the Europeans don't harry at all to let to their family new neighbors who adopted European democratic values very quickly. In particularly they have some fear that the cheap labor will cause unemployment, which is already a serious problem for European leader-countries. And in general the "old" Europeans have gathered so many problems both political and economic that they aren't ready for gathering new ones. They already suffer that the "gustarbiters" will throw the inhabitants soon consequently they are frighten from the enlargement of Europe.
On another hand a lot of countries that became democratic by the request of Europe deprived of the main stimulus of "pretending". Now the leaders of those countries won't have to realize the CoE resolutions against their wishes if the integration into the European country doesn't threaten us any more. In favor what Armenia must complete the project of Constitutional amendments which caused disappointment of the commission of Venice if we aren't allowed to enter into the European family.
The failure of referendums in France and Netherlands deprived the EU of geopolitical main weapon of influence by which it made the countries of Central and Eastern Europe honor some commitments promising to adopt in the EU. But there isn't any foreign stimulus for going by the European values. The idea of enlarging the United Europe didn't work. Nowadays the international European institutions aren't authority for Armenia any more. And it is very sorrowful as irrespective from Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan which must keep a level of democracy for the orientation to the West and NATO Armenia now is more oriented to Russia. And the latter doesn't give a damn about democracy of our country and Constitution how free and fair our elections are.
