SARKISIAN RESPONDS TO MPs
[08:05 pm] 05 December, 2007
Today Armenia’s Prime Minister Serzh Sarkissian readily answered MPs’
questions in the National Assembly.
OYP member Mher Shahgeldian noted that compared with other countries
of the region demography is in a terrible plight in Armenia. The
country is `getting older.’
The Armenian premier was especially well-disposed to Heritage party
female-deputies and `delighted’ them with his ready-made answers.
Nevertheless, Serzh Sarkissian got nerves before replying to Heritage
member Zaruhi Postanjian’s question regarding political prisoners
Zhirair Sefilian, Vardan Malkhassian and Armen Babajanian.
`Does a deputy have a right to raise questions at each four-day
sitting?’ Serzh Sarkissian wondered. After getting a positive answer,
he answered the question.
Larissa Alaverdian referred to refugee problems. She remarked that
bureaucratism is the main foe of the authorities. She wants to restore
public confidence towards the authorities.
Serzh Sarkissian thanked Ms Alaverdian for her concern. He assured her
that he would continue cooperation to tackle refugee problems.
