TIGRAN TOROSIAN CONDEMNS ARMENIAN OPPOSITION FOR GIVING THEATRE PERFORMANCE AT RA NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

Yerevan, May 22. ArmInfo. The coming few months will become a test
for the Armenian political forces. Tigran Torosian, Deputy Speaker
of RA National Assembly, said this at today’s press conference.

Mr. Torosian condemned the opposition demand to dissolve the parliament
in connection with the fact that the political coalition stopped
existing after the withdrawal of “Country of Law,” party and that
the coalition is no longer a majority at the parliament. “First of
all, I wander, who said that the coalition should be the majority
at the parliament and a majority memorandum should be adopted. The
first step was taken after the parliamentary elections in 2003,
and I think this step will become a precedent for the future one,
but nothing makes us adopt the memorandum, now. In many countries of
the world the coalitions function without adopting any documents,”
he said. He emphasized that it is precisely stated in RA Constitution
what a parliamentary crisis means and in which cases the legislative
power should be dissolved, underscoring that nothing of the like
happens at the parliament at present.
