  • European Parliament
    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT DELEGATION TO THE PARLIAMENTARY COOPERATION COMMITTEES EU-ARMENIA, EU-AZERBAIJAN AND EU-GEORGIA INFORMATION NOTE ON THE WORK OF THE DELEGATION TO THE EU-ARMENIA, EU-AZERBAIJAN AND EU-GEORGIA PARLIAMENTARY COOPERATION COMMITTEES DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES OF THE UNION ______________ 5 June 2014/rev.030714 PK/fc 1 INTRODUCTION Our bilateral relations: where we stand The relations between the European Parliament and the parliaments of the three South Caucasus countries- Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia - are currently conducted within the framework of bilateral Partnership and Cooperation Agreements, which all entered into force in July 1999. This framework vis-à-vis Azerbaijan and Armenia is not expected to change in the short term. On the other hand, the EU-Georgia Association Agreement, which features an ambitious Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement dimension, was signed on 27 June 2014 and is now likely to enter in provisional application before November 2014. This will lead to the further intensification of structured parliamentary dialogue with Georgian legislators in particular, reflecting the clear progress seen in EU-Georgia relations these last few years. EU cooperation and financial assistance to the country (see below) further reflects this fact. This said, the standing PCAs have all already initiated formal interparliamentary cooperation – with three Parliamentary Cooperation Committees exercising parliamentary control over their implementation. Each PCC has the right to receive information from the Cooperation Council and the Cooperation Committee set by the respective PCA: PCCs can also adopt recommendations addressed to the competent Cooperation Committees. The EP-Georgia PCC should however be replaced, before 2015, by an EU-Georgia Parliamentary Association Committee, in order to perform the joint democratic scrutiny function over the proceedings of the Association Council which will be established by the EU-Georgia AA/DCFTA.

  • Mediated Political Participation: Comparative Analysis of Right Wing and Left Wing Alternative Media
    Mediated Political Participation: Comparative Analysis of Right Wing and Left Wing Alternative Media A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Nune Grigoryan August 2019 © 2019 Nune Grigoryan. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Mediated Political Participation: Comparative Analysis of Right Wing and Left Wing Alternative Media by NUNE GRIGORYAN has been approved for the School of Media Arts & Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Wolfgang Suetzl Assistant Professor of Media Arts & Studies Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract GRIGORYAN, NUNE, PhD, August 2019, Mass Communication Mediated Political Participation: Comparative Analysis of Right Wing and Left Wing Alternative Media Director of dissertation: Wolfgang Suetzl Democracy allows a plural media landscape where different types of media perform vital functions. Over years, the public trust towards mainstream media has been eroding, limiting their ability to fulfill democratic functions within the American society. Meanwhile, the Internet has led to proliferation of alternative media outlets on digital space. These platforms allow new outreach and mobilizing opportunities to the once peripheral alternative media. So far, the literature about alternative media have been heavily focused on left-wing alternative media outlets, while the research on alternative right-wing media has remained scarce and fragmented. Only few studies have applied a comparative analysis approach to study these outlets. Moreover, research that examines different aspects of alternative media such as content and audience reception is more rare. This study aims to demonstrate the heterogeneity of alternative media by highlighting their history and functions within the American democracy.

  • Here the Same Person Could Be a Member of the Constitutional Court for 40 Years Has Also Been Eliminated
    “Honorable National Assembly President, Distinguished Vice-Presidents, Dear National Assembly Members, Dear People, Proud Citizens of the Republic of Armenia, The applicable Constitution of the Republic of Armenia provides for a model of the Constitutional Court that is widely regarded by international experts as balanced. The essence of this model is as follows: Candidates for three Constitutional Court judges are nominated by the President of the Republic, the Government, the General Assembly of Judges, the election is made by the National Assembly, and the Constitutional Court becomes the upper instance for balancing between the three branches of power. At the same time, the new constitution has two important nuances. Unlike the former Constitution, the RA President in office cannot be a member of any party, judges cannot be partisans either, and given the fact that the Speaker of the National Assembly has been deprived of the right or is not entitled to nominate a judge for the Constitutional Court, we can state that the risks of politicization of the Constitutional Court are mitigated as much as possible in the applicable Constitution. The risks for the Constitutional Court Chairman to exercise pressure on the Constitutional Court are also mitigated, because unlike the previous one, the Constitutional Court Chairman is elected for a six-year term, not for life. In addition, a CC judge may be elected president of the court only once. In addition, unlike the previous Constitution, the President of the Constitutional Court is elected by the judges of the Constitutional Court and not by the National Assembly. In addition, the abnormal practice where the same person could be a member of the Constitutional Court for 40 years has also been eliminated.
