The deadline of taking signatures on the formation of a temporary
committee on the estrangement of the Hrazdan power station and the gas
price increase initiated by the party “Justice” expired at 12:30 today.

Only 20 deputies joint the signature taking process; the parties
“National Conciliation” and “Justice,” and 3 free deputies Emma
Khudabashyan, Manuk Gasparyan and Hmayak Hovhannesyan. “Being an
illegal body the Coalition avoids forming committees to control
the lawfulness of any deal. The Coalition is aimed at establishing
shadow activities,” said the secretary of the party “Justice” and
the initiator of signature taking Victor Dallakyan.
