PM Displeased With Parliament’s Interference In Government’s Work

ARMENIA’S PM DISPLEASED WITH PARLIAMENT’S INTERFERENCE IN GOVERNMENT’S
WORK

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22. ARMINFO. Armenia’s Prime Minister Andranik
Margaryan has instructed his subordinate structures not to answer the
requests of the councils set by Parliament Speaker Artur Bagdassaryan
and not to take part in their work.

In an interview to Haykakan Zhamanak Margaryan says that it’s not the
government’s duty to help these councils and that parliament speaker
has no legal right to set up such structures. This is direct
interference in the cabinet’s work. Margaryan notes that he has never
allowed himself to meddle with the parliament’s work. “If there are
any issues of concern for the parliament they can be raised in
parliamentary commissions or at parliamentary hearings,” he says.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
