ArmInfo. The Armenian Standing Parliamentary Commission for State
and Legal Issues has postponed the discussion of the draft law
"On introduction of amendments in the Armenian National ssembly’s
decision on depriving arrested MPs Myasnik Malkhasyan, Hakob Hakobyan,
Sasoun Mikayelyan and wanted MP Khachatur Sukiasyan of immunity"
for 30 days. Head of the Commission David Haroutyunyan told ArmInfo
correspondent that the relevant decision was taken at today’s sitting
of the Commission.

Haroutyunyan said that the ground for taking the specified decision
was the fact that the initiators of the draft law M.Malkhasyan,
H.Hakobyan and S.Mikayelyan didn’t participate in the sitting of the
Commission. "The initiators’ participation is obligatory as this
is required by the law "On Regulations of the Armenian National
Assembly",- Haroutyunyan said.
