ALL, FROM INTELLECTUALS TO CRIMINAL ELEMENTS, ARE PRESENTED AT CURRENT
NA, TATUL MANASERIAN CONSIDERS

YEREVAN, JUNE 4, NOYAN TAPAN. According to observation of Deputy of RA
National Assembly of third convocation Tatul Manaserian, in parliaments
of civilized countries of the world political variety is expressed by
representation of ethnic groups and in Armenia by presence of all
social strata, from intellectuals to criminal elements. As the latter
mentioned at the June 4 discussion, full formation of
parliamentarianism in Armenia will be much quicker and efficient if
"not only people creating law, but also those knowing and respecting
law" appear in the parliament. Such figures are needed who will treat
NA as a political institution and not as "asphalt construction trust."
Whereas, in the words of the former MP, today the home political field
does not have "either normal oppositionists or normal pro-governmental
forces:" very few political figures not selling themselves have
remained."

According to observation of Armen Ashotian, member of parliamentary
faction of Republican Party of Armenia, in many countries the public
makes its political choice and then expresses discontent for the choice
made by itself, and from this point of view Armenia is not an
exception, either. In his words, the newly elected NA has a historic
mission: to contribute to full formation of political culture. And for
this A. Ashotian advised each representative of political field: "Love
not yourself in the parliament, but parliamentarianism in yourself."
