YEREVAN, DECEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. On December 7, the day of the 18th
anniversary of the Spitak earthquake, the RA National Assembly deputies
honoured with one-minute silence the memory of the earthquake victims
at the beginning of the plenary sitting. NA Speaker Tigran Torosian
thanked those present for creating the possibility to continue work
of the Parliament. The December 7 sitting of the previous year did not
take place because of absence of quorum, as many of deputies left for
the disaster zone to take part in the memory events. The NA Speaker
stated that votes of the issues discussed on the previous day and to
be discussed on December 7, most probably, will be implemented at the
special sitting to be convened soon, as the regular plenary sittings
of the autumn session finish today.
