The extraordinary session of the National Assembly did not adopt the
draft bill "On alienation of property for public and state needs"
collecting only 62 votes.

Earlier the opposition urged the government to take the draft back
suggesting organizing parliamentary hearings and propose a better
version.

Justice Minister Davit Harutunyan said, "The parliament may decide
to adopt the law in three hearings, if it decides to do so, but we
think it may also be adopted in two hearings." Anyway, the bill
did not pass only because it did not collect four more necessary
votes.
