YEREVAN, September 11. /ARKA/. The Armenian Parliament has rejected
the Armenian opposition’s proposal for setting up an interim commission
to study the situation in Armenia’s civil aviation.
The ex-member of the "Justice" faction Victor Dallakyan reported
that the commission is supposed to contribute to the investigation
of the RA Government’s activities in civil aviation and in observing
safety standards.
"With the help of experts the commission will determine the causes
of the crash of the Armenian airplane near Sochi on May 3, when 113
people were killed," he said.
The proposal was seconded by the newly elected Secretary of the
"Justice" faction Grigor Harutyunyan.
However, only 51 instead of the necessary 66 parliamentarians voted
for the proposal.
