YEREVAN, JUNE 9, NOYAN TAPAN. "I have said that I am not going
to resign," NA Speaker Tigran Torosian told journalists on June
9. According to the latest publications in press, the stopping of
deputy powers of NA deputy Henrik Abrahamian from electoral district N
17 is conditioned by the circumstance that the former deputy’s brother,
Head of the RA President’s Administration, Hovik Abrahamian intends
to be elected deputy from that electoral district and to become NA
Speaker later.
T. Torosian said that parliament Speaker’s resignation is a serious
event in any country and it is the result of change on either country’s
main issues of principle or change of some political situation. "There
is no such precondition, and I just have no right to take such a step,"
T. Torosian said. He also mentioned that everyone should realize
his responsibility on this or that post. "Under the circumstance, I
think no one has a moral right to play children’s games," T. Torosian
said meanwhile mentioning that to resign the post of the NA Speaker
means to deliver a blow to state’s authority and to show a disdainful
attitude to society.
