Newspaper: New ‘test’ awaits Armenia authorities on Artsakh issue

News.am, Armenia

YEREVAN. – Hraparak daily of Armenia writes: The parliamentary opposition has decided to make the difficult situation created in Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] a subject of discussion.

The [opposition] "Armenia" and "With Honor" Factions have petitioned to the NA [(National Assembly)] president with a proposal to hold an urgent session on the topic: "The humanitarian situation created in the Artsakh Republic, the threats and the urgent things to do." It [i.e., the session] is proposed to be held in the third main sitting on Tuesday on the days of the regular sittings to be convened on March 22. The opposition attaches importance to the reports of Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan at the session.

Will the ruling [NA] majority [faction] meet this demand given that Armenia acts as a guarantor of Artsakh's security? Or will it do away with this, too, like the other initiatives regarding Artsakh? Yesterday, the ruling team had not yet received instructions on what are they going to do.
