Armenian parliament deprives itself of right to reservations

On April 7, Armenia's parliament rejected the draft law submitted by the ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group on making changes in the RA Law on International Treaties and amending the RA National Assembly’s regulations.

The legislative initiative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun foresaw the following: the parliament shall have the right to reservations during ratification of international treaties, the right to withdrawal from an agreement, if it contradicts the country’s interests, as well as the parliament shall have the right to initiate a suspension or termination of an international agreement.
