ArmInfo. The parliamentary group of the opposition Heritage party has
not received proposals to chair any of the standing commissions of the
Armenian parliament, says the member of the group Larisa Alaverdyan.
This rumor is being spread by the mass media and is aimed at spoiling
the rating of Heritage. "We refuse pointblank to chair any of the
commissions," says Alaverdyan. She says that there are other ways to
enhance the role of the opposition in the parliament. "First of all,
we should reach agreement on the adoption of political decisions. The
parliamentary majority has never followed principles or legal criteria
in solving problems. They always vote "pro" on the basis of preliminary
agreement. One should not take the proposals of the opposition as
the order of some other country, this is elementary culture. I think
that we should set up an interim parliamentary commission on moral
and ethical problems," says Alaverdyan.
To remind, today the Armenian Parliament adopted a law on
parliamentary regulations saying that the parliament will have 12
standing commissions.
