NA deputy Hmayak Hovhanissyan did not celebrate the Independence day
yesterday. To be more precise, he refused to take part in the official
solemn banquet.
According to H. Hovhanissyan Armenia has lost independence form the
very moment it launched the constitutional reform proceeding not
from the domestic political problems but for the sake of honoring
the commitments to European forces and justifying their hopes. “It
proves that we are not independent”, he says.
During a press conference titled “Internal political issues of Armenia”
held in Pakagits club the deputy tried to explain why he speaks out
against the constitutional amendments. One of the reasons is that
the Armenian leadership does not wish to make the post of the Mayor
of Yerevan elective.
The independent deputy did not forget to touch upon the topic of
deceived depositors, which can be referred to the unfulfilled
commitments undertaken by Speaker Atrur Baghdassaryan. In
Hovhanissyan’s words, the Speaker is trying to consign to oblivion
the fact that last year Hovhanissyan has collected 66 signatures to
include the issue in the agenda, however Artur Baghdassaryan stated
of his inability to solve this issue. “It means that the President
does not want the problem to be solved”, the deputy noted.
PRICE OF DASHNAKTSUTYUN
The defeat of ARFD at the presidential election in Karabakh Hmayak
Hovhanissyan rated as “shattering”. Though the Dashnaks disliked
such assessment Hmayak Hovhanissyan keeps on commenting on ARFD’s
participation in the LGB election. In part, the deputy said, “They
garnered 67 votes in Nubarashen community. This is all they deserve.”
