Pro-government lawmakers voted down a proposal of opposition Armenia faction MP Artur Ghazinyan to discuss the situation on Armenia’s borders at the meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Defense and Security on Wednesday.

"Today the proposal to discuss the issue in an emergency mode was rejected by the ruling force, it was not put on the agenda, while the need to address the same issue in the future has arisen," Ghazinyan said at the meeting.

He noted that the proposal was specific and was about the establishment of a working group, as provided by the Rules of Procedure, but it was rejected.
