It is incomprehensible to the reason why the opposition "Armenia" and "With Honor" Factions did not want to participate in the work of the committee of inquiry into the circumstances of the 44-day war. Andranik Kocharyan, chair of the National Assembly (NA) committee of inquiry into the 44-day Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war—in the fall of 2020—as well as of the NA Standing Committee on Defense and Security, and an MP of the ruling majority "Civil Contract" Faction in the NA, stated this at Monday’s press briefing—at the NA—of the representatives of the ruling Civil Contract Party.
According to the lawmaker of the incumbent authorities, if the latter make a mistake, the parliamentary opposition will always have the opportunity to criticize the work of this committee.
"They should have come, ‘nailed’ us to the ‘pillar’ of contempt if we had behaved wrongly. We [at the aforesaid inquiry committee] will work online with all the cameras on. Whoever they said we would have called [for questioning at this committee]; even whoever they did not say, we again would have called. The top classified routine documents will be accessible to this committee. Well, should they reject that, too?" said Andranik Kocharyan.
