During today’s parliament sitting, Armenia lawmaker Nikol Pashinyan
asked Parliament Speaker Galust Sahakyan about the report of a gas
commission which was to have been submitted at the previous four-day
sitting.
Mr Sahakyan said the conclusion was ready and will be distributed to
lawmakers in the coming four days. Minutes later, a quarrel broke out
between Heritage faction lawmaker Zaruhi Postanjyan and Republican
lawmaker Samvel Farmanyan, which was accompanied with insults.
Postanjyan said ‘the young man sitting on the right [Samvel Farmanyan]
who had managed to change several parties, need not give her advice.’
In his turn, Farmanyan said, ‘Postanjyan looks much better on TV as
a housewife than in the National Assembly.
“I have observed that she is professionally incompetent,” he said.
This finally angered Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly Eduard
Shramazanov who turned off their microphones and said, “You are not
at a market.”
Then the NA proceeded to discuss the 1915 Genocide of Armenians,
Greeks, and Assyrians in the Ottoman Empire. The discussion is attended
by representatives of Greek and Assyrian communities in Armenia.
