Hmaiak Hovhanisyan, independent deputy of parliament, told a press
conference today that an anti-political situation is created in
the country saying parties are busy with benevolence or take up
the functions of social ministry, ministry of agriculture or water
services. He even said some parties act as producers for bands.

The deputy was also angry that Russian famous "Tatu" is invited to
sports complex hall to stage a concert.

Famous for their lesbian motives, "Tatu" has raised the discontent
of the politician. Hovhanisyan also said when they asked an Armenian
Republican Party (HHK) member why they invited the lesbians to Yerevan,
he answered, "We invited to show our people what they should not be
like." Hovhanisyan said that "Tatu" was invited to university just
like Vladimir Putin but the group refused to go because of tough
schedule. "Should we laugh or cry?" the politician asks. "Most
probably, cry," he says.
