Elections of Heads of NA Standing Committees on Defense, National
Security and Domestic Affairs and Social, Health and Ecology Issues
started today at the National Assembly. For the first position the
Armenian Revolutionary Federation suggested Aramayis Grigoryan’s
candidacy. In response to this, Hmayak Hovhannisyan suggested the
candidacy of former Head of the Committee Mher Shahgeldyan representing
Orinats Yerkir Party. Secretary of the opposition Justice Block Viktor
Dallakyan suggested Hmayak Hovhannisyan’s candidacy. The latter changed
his decision, suggesting Viktor Dallakyan’s candidacy for the position.

The newly elected Speaker of the National Assembly Tigran Torosyan
called on the Deputies to take their duties more seriously. To
avoid further disagreements the Chairman informed that Gagik Mkheyan
(Orinats Yerkir), former Head of the Committee on Social, Health and
Ecology issues, has no intention of being suggested for the position.
