On Monday the first sitting of the inquiry commission of the National Assembly on the circumstances of the 44-day war was held in Yerevan.

MP from the opposition bloc I Have Honor Tigran Abrahamyan said that the opposition will not take part in the work of the commission. According to him, the current government has in fact admitted that it bears full responsibility for the consequences of the second Karabakh war. "And under these conditions, the implementation of the work of the commission, and moreover, headed by representatives of the current authorities, cannot be unbiased. The clarification of the circumstances of the 44-day war remains one of our priorities. But we think that its work should be launched only when the government resigns," Abrahamyan said.

In his turn, Gegham Nazaryan, an MP from the opposition Armenia bloc, said that they will not take part in the work of the commission either. Another member of the same bloc Gegham Manukyan said that an objective investigation is possible only when it is trusted to the opposition, and not the ruling political force, which is guilty of unleashing this very war.

After these words, the opposition members stood up and left the room where the discussion was taking place.

Such behavior angered the commission members representing the ruling Civil Contract party.
