Today RA Government members arrived at the National Assembly at the
head of the RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan. Before the beginning
of the NA sitting, the prime minister attended the Republican Party
(HHK) session.

After listening to the RA hymn, the sitting of the forth National
Assembly’s fall session resumed its ordinary routine. 122 deputies
were present at the hall. Only Gagik Tsarukyan, the leader of the
Prosperous Armenia (BHK) was absent among the faction leaders.

Freelance Victor Dallakyan pointed out the rough breaches and
inaccuracies on the agenda.

It is noteworthy that the bills introduced by Dallakyan weren’t
involved on the agenda. The first bill referred to the amendments to
the "Law on Youth."

Dallakyan suggested allotting 400 dollars to young families after
the third child’s birth and 500 dollars-after the fourth child’s
birth, etc.

The bill was rejected with 38 votes for, 61 votes against and 12
abstentions. Even the fact that the co-authors of the bill were HHK
members Manvel Badeyan and Armen Mkhitaryan didn’t help Dallakyan.

The next bill referred to the amendments to the "Law on Security."

Orinats Yerkir Party member Heghine Bisharyan’s bill on "Equality
between Male and Female" was turned down with 30 votes for, 76 –
against and 5 abstentions.

After short discussions the MPs passed to the consideration of the
2006 budget.
