YEREVAN, MARCH 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA NA had to stop the first day
work of the March 19 regular four-day sittings 25 minutes early. As NA
Deputy Speaker Vahan Hovhannisian, presiding the sitting stated the
reason was finishing discussion of the issues envisaged by the day
working order. The Parliament envisages to re-start work of plenary
sittings on March 20.

To recap, the NA was able to discuss during one day 27 drafts and
legislative packages as well as 4 credit agreements presented to
certification by the RA President. The majority of drafts related to
making amendments and additions to the acting laws.

Such efficiency of the Parliament work was provided by the fact that
from 72 deputies registered at the beginning of the working day few
deputies remained in the hall in a short time, so discussion of the
issues was mainly limited with their presentation by the speakers. By
the way, only 2-4 deputies were present when discussing some issues.
