HRAYR KARAPETIAN: IRRESPECTIVE OF RE-ARRANGEMENTS, 66 VOTES NECESSARY
FOR MOST IMPORTANT VOTIONS TO BE AT PARLIAMENT

YEREVAN, MAY 29, NOYAN TAPAN. The United Labour Party’s (ULP)
involvement in the staff of the parliamentary majority is more a
political issue than one of clear mechanical counting of votes. Hrayr
Karapetian, the “ARF” faction’s newly elected head stated about it at
the May 26 parliamentary breifing. Responding the Noyan Tapan
correspondent’s question, Karapetian assured that formation of a new
majority at the Parliament does not oppose results of parliamentary
elections as a result of what the coalition was created. According to
him, the issue is not the mandates the ULP has, but joining the
principles stated by the memorandum signed by the parliamentary
political majority. “I’m sure that those 66 votes that are necessary
for the votion, will be at the Parliament,” the “ARF” faction head
stated. According to him, the world experience shows that the role of
the once smallest in number faction of the Parliament was decisive in
the issue of the Prime Minister’s election and the Government’s
formation. Hrayr Karapetian mentioned that one must not understand his
word in the way that the ULP may have a decisive role at the
Parliament of Armenia tomorrow.
