The CE Venice Commission may draw a conclusion on a referendum on introduction of amendments to the Azerbaijani Constitution at its next session schedule for March 13-14, said personal representative of CE Secretary General in Azerbaijan, head of the CE Baku office Veronika Kotek.

"It is so far difficult to say anything definite about the date when the Venice Commission will draw its conclusion on this issue, but I hope that this will occur before holding a referendum in Azerbaijan", noted she and added that currently the Venice Commission is engaged in studying the issue of holding a referendum.
According to Kotek, on January 29 the monitoring committee of the CE Parliamentary Assembly asked the Venice Commission to release a conclusion on a referendum, appointed in Azerbaijan.
The referendum on amendments to the Constitution of Azerbaijan, envisioning lifting restrictions from the right of one and the same person to be elected as a president of the country for no more than twice, is schedule for March 18 of 2009.
