The bill on alienation of property for public and state needs was
voted in the parliament for the second reading when there were
obviously not so many deputies in the hall. The bill collected 69
"for" and 4 "abstained." "This is beyond any limits," Aghasi Arshakyan
shouted. When the opposition demanded to show the records of the
voting on the indicator panel, deputies who voted for their friends
quickly left the hall.
Some claimed that the National Assembly chairmanship persistently
wants to push this bill, to which Tigran Torosyan said, "This bill
does not trouble me at all."
The leader of the Armenian Republican Party faction, Galust Sahakyan,
took a word to say, "There were no violations in the voting" making
Tigran Torosyan understand that there is no need to put the bill on
voting again.
However, Torosyan admitted that there were violations during voting
and suggested to vote again. Because there were not so many deputies
in the hall, the voting was postponed for a more proper time. The
parliament proceeded to the discussion on the budget.
