ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT DEBATES CONTROVERSIAL RESTRICTIONS.
Pro-government and opposition deputies traded accusations and insults
on 27 June during a debate on the draft amendments to the parliament
statues prepared by the government last week, RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau
reported. Those amendments would empower the speaker to order unruly
deputies to leave the parliament chamber and to ban them from
participating in the work of the legislature for up to 15 days (see
"RFE/RL Newsline," 24 June 2002). He would also have the right to
call for police assistance to enforce those restrictions, which
opposition deputies claim are unconstitutional and aimed at stifling
dissent. LF
